Brake system
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-
assisted brakes lose power because
of a stalled engine or some other
reason, you can still stop your vehi
-
cle by applying greater force to the
brake pedal than you normally
would. The stopping distance, how
-
ever, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con
-
trol on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Brakes
䳜 Do not drive with your foot rest
-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem
-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
䳜 When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid
continuous application of the
brakes. Continuous brake applica
-
tion will cause the brakes to over
-
heat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking perfor
-
mance.
䳜 Wet brakes may impair the vehi
-
cle䳓s ability to safely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
whilst maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal.
䳜 Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you don't check
the position of the accelerator
and brake pedal before driving,
you may depress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It may
cause a serious accident.
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate
whilst the vehicle is in motion, you
can make an emergency stop with
the parking brake. The stopping dis
-
tance, however, will be much
greater than normal.
