High-performance brake system for AMG vehicles
The high-performance brake system is installed only on the C 63 AMG.
WARNING
New vehicle brake pads and discs, and 
replacement brake pads and discs may take 
several hundred miles of driving until they 
provide optimum braking efficiency. Until that 
time, you may need to use increased brake 
pedal pressure while braking. Please be aware 
of this and adjust your driving and braking 
accordingly during this break-in period.
Excessive high-demand braking will cause 
correspondingly high brake wear. Please be 
attentive to the brake warning lamp in the 
instrument cluster and brake condition 
messages in the multifunction display.
Especially for high performance driving, it is 
important to maintain and have the brake 
system checked regularly.
The high-performance brake system is 
designed for heavy loads. This may lead to 
noise when braking. This will depend on:
• speed
• braking force
• environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity
The wear of individual components of the brake system, such as the brake pads/linings or brake discs, depends on the individual driving style and operating conditions.
For this reason, it is impossible to state a mileage that will be valid under all circumstances. An aggressive driving style will lead to high wear. You can obtain further information about this from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
