TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Brake Operation
The brakes give strong braking force with
only light pressure on the pedal. Do not
press the brake pedal hard except in the
event of an emergency.
1. Braking distances vary according to
the vehicle speed and road conditions.
First, slow down sufficiently using the
engine brake and the exhaust brake.
2. Press the brake pedal and keep it
pressed until just before the point at
which you want the vehicle to stop.
3. Ease off the brake pedal.
Stopping Distance
The vehicle's stopping distance consists of
a reaction distance (from the point where
the driver senses danger and presses the
pedal to the point where the brakes start
to work) and a braking distance (from the
point where the brakes start to work to the
point where the vehicle comes to a halt).
When driving, bear the stopping distance
in mind. Maintain a speed and headway
distance that allow you to stop safely even
if a hazard occurs.
CAUTION
Do not allow the brake pedal to fully •
return. If you allow the brake pedal
to fully return, there will be a short
delay before the brakes start to work
the next time you press the pedal,
meaning that the stopping distance
may be increased.
4. Immediately before the point where
you want the vehicle to stop, gently
press the brake pedal to bring the
vehicle to a halt.
