Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will
cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition
could cause sudden loss of brakes and/or fire, resulting in
serious injury or death.
When traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes.
Riding the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat and
result in brake failure.
