When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of engine braking by shifting
to a lower shift position while driving on steep downhill roads
in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Brake pads and linings
●
With new brake pads or linings, avoid where possible sud-
den full application of the brakes for the first 200 km (120
miles) of driving.
●
The disc brakes are fitted with a warning device which
emits a shrieking metallic sound while braking if the
brake pads have reached their limit.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced.
Emergency stop signal system
E00626000021
This is a device that reduces the possibility of rear end colli-
sions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warn-
ing lamps to alert vehicles approaching from behind during
sudden braking. When the emergency stop signal system oper-
ates, the hazard warning indicator lamp in the instrument clus-
ter blinks rapidly at the same time.
WARNING
!
●
Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is
securely held in place.
WARNING
!
●
Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.
CAUTION
!
●
If the ABS warning lamp or TCL/ASC indicator
lamp is illuminated, the emergency stop signal sys-
tem may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 4-43.
Refer to “Traction control system (TCL)/Active sta-
bility control system (ASC) indicator lamp” on page
4-49.
