DRIVING
Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your vehicle from moving.
Parking Brake
Set the parking brake before you exit the vehicle.
This vehicle uses an electric parking brake.
To apply:
Push the switch. The BRAKE indicator
appears in the instrument panel. Hold the switch
down for emergency braking while the vehicle is
moving.
To release:
Press the brake pedal, then pull up on
the parking brake switch.
Automatic release:
Lightly press the accelerator
pedal while the vehicle is in gear.
Brake Assist System
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the
brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. Do not pump the
brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or the
vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a motor noise
from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a motor sound from the
engine compartment, especially when the engine is first started or after repeated
use of the brakes.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.
