Brake system

BRAKE SYSTEM

This brake system has two independent

hydraulic circuits. If either circuit should
fail, the other will still work. However, the

pedal will be harder to press, and your

stopping distance will be longer. Also, the
brake system warning light may come on.

CAUTION

Do not drive your vehicle with only a
single brake system. Have your

brakes fixed immediately.

BRAKE BOOSTER

The brake booster uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump to power

−

assist the

brakes. If the brake booster fails during

driving, the brake system warning light
comes on and buzzer sound continuously.

In this case, the brakes may not work

properly. If they do not work well, depress
the brake pedal firmly. If the brake system

warning light comes on, immediately stop

your vehicle and contact your Toyota deal-
er.

The brake system warning light may stay

on for about 60 seconds after the ignition

key  is  turned  to  “ON”  position.  It  is  nor-
mal  if  the  light  turns  off  after  a  while.
Depressing  the  brake  pedal  repeatedly

may turn on the brake system warning
light and buzzer. It is normal if the light

turns off and the buzzer stops sounding

after a few seconds.
You may hear a small sound in the engine

compartment after the engine is started or
the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.

This is a pump pulsating sound of the

brake system, and it is not a malfunction.

CAUTION

Do not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the

pedal uses up your brake fluid

pressure reserve.

Even if the power assist is com-

pletely lost, the brakes will still

work. But you will have to push the
pedal hard, much harder than nor-

mal. And your braking distance will

be longer.

ANTI

−

LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

(with “ABS” warning light)
The anti

−

lock brake system is designed

to automatically help prevent lock

−

up of

the wheels during a sudden braking or

braking on slippery road surfaces. This
assists in providing stability and steer-

ing performance of the vehicle under

these circumstances.

Effective way to press the ABS brake
pedal:

When the anti

−

lock brake system

function is in action, you may feel the

brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.
In this situation, to let the anti

−

lock

brake system work for you, just hold the

brake pedal down more firmly. Do not
pump the brake in a panic stop. This

will result in reduced braking perfor-

mance.

The anti

−

lock brake system becomes op-

erative after the vehicle has accelerated

to a speed in excess of approximately 10

km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below

approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
