All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve-
hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTION
l Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason,
the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired.
WARNING
l Do not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System while your vehicle is in motion. If
you turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning display
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. A warning
is also displayed on the multi information
display. Refer to "Brake warning lamp" and
"Brake warning display" 6-50, 6-52.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm
they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or
after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhill
WARNING
l Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do-
ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure that the
floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION
l
Put the selector lever to “B” position accord-
ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in a
long downward slope, and use the regenera-
tive brake together.
If you depress the brake pedal and slowing
down is repeated frequently, the foot brake
may be overheated and effectiveness may
worsen.
