PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the film
of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering
and directional stability when you brake
heavily in an emergency, by preventing the
road wheels from locking.
Brake override
In the event that the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, applying
steady and firm pressure to the brake
pedal will both slow the vehicle and reduce
engine power.
If you experience this condition:
1.
Apply the brakes and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Select park (automatic transmission
only).
4. Apply the parking brake.
Inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interferences. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to a dealer.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Note:
When the system is operating, the
brake pedal will pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake
pedal. You may also hear a noise from the
system. This is normal.
The anti-lock braking system will not
eliminate the risks when:
•
You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.
•
Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•
You take corners too fast.
•
The road surface is poor.
