Handling the brake system when parking the vehicle

Do not use zinc dust paint on vehicles equipped with compound brake disks or ceramic brake disks. Otherwise, damage may occur!

Apply the service brake until it becomes warm so that any moisture on the brake disks and brake linings evaporates. This prevents the brake linings from becoming stuck to the brake disks. If vehicles are parked for an extended period of time, treat friction ring of brake disks with zinc dust spray paint. The zinc dust paint is applied proportionally at several points on the outer and inner side (see picture). The zinc dust paint can be spread out across the entire friction ring by turning the wheel or moving the vehicle a few meters. The zinc dust paint protects the friction ring against surface corrosion and can thus prevent complaints such as shuddering and squeaking. The vehicle is to be parked with released parking brake and then secured by engaging first gear (manual transmission) or park pawl (automatic transmission) and using wheel chocks.
