Driving and parking

Apply the brakes so that you can feel
their response after a journey on wet
roads, especially if the road has been
salted. The brake discs will be warmed,
dry more quickly and be protected
against corrosion.
If you make only moderate use of the
service brake, check from time to time
that it is fully functional. To do this,
brake more sharply at a higher vehicle
speed. The brake will grip better as a re-
sult.
For safety reasons, the manufacturer
recommends that you only have brake
pads/linings installed on your vehicle
that have been approved for the Sprinter
Vehicle.
Brake pads/linings that have not been
approved for the Sprinter Vehicle could
affect your vehicle’s operating safety.
i
In exceptional cases, the handbrake
can be used for emergency braking if
the service brake fails (
୴ page 192).
Parking
Warning
G
Only remove the key from the ignition
lock when the vehicle is stationary, since
it is not possible to steer the vehicle with
the key removed.
Always apply the handbrake after parking
the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could release the hand-
brake. This could lead to a serious or fatal
accident.
