WARNING
● The brake system consists of 2 or
more individual hydraulic systems;
if one of the systems fails, the
other(s) will still operate. In this
case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual
and the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
■
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively
when a driven wheel is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline
components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
