The service brakes are safety-critical parts of the
vehicle. If an inspection reveals any abnormality,
contact an authorized dealer and have the abnor-
mality rectified before you again drive the vehicle.
Driving the vehicle with the abnormality unrectified
could result in a serious accident.
1 Checking sound of air discharged from
the brake valve
Fully depress brake pedal and then release it. The
pedal should return all the way, and simultaneously
the sound of discharged air should be heard from
the brake valve.
If anything abnormal is detected during the above
check, call an authorized dealer.
2 Brake pedal play
To check the pedal play, use your finger to press the
brake pedal to the point where resistance is felt and
measure the distance that the pedal has moved.
If the pedal play is not as specified, have the brake
system inspected by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION
Set the parking brake firmly and block wheels
with chocks for added safety.
