06 Starting and driving All-wheel drive All-wheel drive – AWD All-wheel drive is always engaged. All-wheel drive means that all four road wheels are driven at the same time. Power is automatically distributed between front and rear wheels. An electronically controlled clutch system distributes the power to the pair of wheels that grips best. This provides the best traction and prevents wheel spin. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels. All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions. 06 127
06 Starting and driving Brake system 06 Brake servo If the car is rolling or is being towed with the engine turned off, the brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than when the engine is running. If the brake pedal is pressed when the engine is started, you will feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to the brake servo becoming active. This may be more noticeable if the car has emergency brake assistance (EBA). WARNING The brake servo only works when the engine is running. NOTE If braking with the engine switched off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not repeatedly. Brake circuits This symbol lights if a brake circuit is not working. If a fault should occur in one of the circuits, it is still possible to brake the car. The brake pedal will travel further and may feel softer than normal. Harder pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect. Dampness can affect braking characteristics Brake components become wet when the car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water or when the car is washed. This may alter brake pad friction characteristics so that there is a delay before braking effect is noticed. Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time if driving for long stretches in rain or slushy snow, as well as after setting off in very damp or cold weather. This warms up the braking surfaces and dries off any water. It is also recommended to do this before parking the car for a long period in such weather conditions. If the brakes are used heavily When driving in the Alps or other roads with similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not being depressed especially hard. Because speed is often low, the brakes are not cooled as effectively as when driving on flat roads at higher speed. So as not to overload the brakes, shift down when driving downhill instead of using the foot brake. Use the same gear driving downhill as you would use driving uphill. This uses engine braking more efficiently and requires the foot brake for only brief periods. Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an additional load on the car’s brakes. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) The anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up under braking. This means the ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard, for example. After the engine has been started, the ABS will perform a brief self-test at a speed of about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as pulses in the brake pedal. To get the most out of the ABS: 1. Depress brake pedal with full force. Pulses will be felt. 2. Steer the car in the direction of travel. Do not release the pressure on the pedal. Practice braking with the ABS system in a traffic-free area and in different weather conditions. The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds if there was a fault in the ABS system when the engine was last running. 128
