The type of brake system installed in the vehicle is indicated by the corresponding PR number -A and B- on the vehicle data sticker. t  Allocation → ETKA   Note t  When performing repair work on brakes, hairline cracks are often found on the friction surface of the brake discs. Hairline cracks up to a length of 10 mm do not present a technical problem and do not justify a renewal of brake discs. t  Brake discs and pads with cracks going all the way across the friction surface must be renewed.
