If the steering wheel audio control switches do not work, you
can still control the system through the infotainment system or
with the remote (if equipped).
9.4 Brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and drum
brakes in the rear.
Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced stopping
distance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. After
a car wash or driving the vehicle through water, dab the brake
pedal while driving to remove the film of water from the brake pads.
Brake pads feature mechanical wear indicator. When the brake
pad is worn, metallic squeal noise is heard indicating the pad wear.
Have them replaced immediately.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping distance
increases considerably when braking.
Dry the brakes by driving at very slow speed and applying the
brakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.
Even if the power assist (vacuum assistance) is completely lost,
the brakes will still work. The brake pedal would be much
harder than normal and the vehicle stopping / braking distance
will be longer than usual.
