Always fully apply the parking
brake when leaving your vehicle or
it may roll and cause damage or
injury. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to roll
and cause damage or injury.
CAUTION!
If the “Brake Warning Light” remains
on with the parking brake released, a
brake system malfunction is indi-
cated. Have the brake system ser-
viced by an authorized dealer imme-
diately.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with
dual hydraulic brake systems.
If either of the two hydraulic
systems loses normal capabil-
ity, the remaining system will
still function. However, there will be some
loss of overall braking effectiveness. This
will be evident by increased pedal travel
during application and greater pedal force
required to slow or stop the vehicle. In
addition, if the malfunction is caused by a
leak in the hydraulic system, the “Brake
Warning Light” will turn on as the brake
fluid level drops in the master cylinder.
In the event power assist is lost for any
reason (i.e., repeated brake applications
with the engine OFF) the brakes will still
function. However, the effort required to
brake the vehicle will be much greater
than that required with the power system
operating.
WARNING!
•
Riding the brakes can lead to
brake failure and possibly a colli-
sion. Driving with your foot resting
or riding on the brake pedal can
result in abnormally high brake
temperatures,
excessive
lining
wear, and possible brake damage.
You would not have your full brak-
ing capacity in an emergency.
