Mercedes-Benz GLC : Notes on driving / Notes on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking effect is limited on salt-treated
roads.
Therefore, observe the following notes:
- Due to salt build-up on the brake discs and
brakepads, the braking distance can increase

- Maintain a much greater safe distance to the
vehicle in front
To remove salt build-up:
- Brake occasionally while paying attention to
the traffic conditions
- Carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
