When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the engine brak-
ing by shifting to a lower shift position while driv-
ing on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating.
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 the floor
mat is securely held in place.
Brake pads
l
Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by moder-
ate use for the first 200 km (125 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a warning
device which emits a shrieking metallic
sound while braking if the brake pads have
reached their wear limit.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads re-
placed immediately.
WARNING
l Driving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.
Brake assist system
E00627000099
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers
who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as
in emergency stop situations and provides greater
braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes
will be applied with more force than usual.
CAUTION
l The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity.
Make sure to always keep a sufficient dis-
tance between vehicles in front of you with-
out relying too much on the brake assist
system.
NOTE
l Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel the brake pedal at-
tempt to resist, the pedal moves in small mo-
tions in conjunction with the operation noise,
or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vi-
brate. This occurs when the brake assist sys-
tem is operating normally and does not indi-
cate faulty operation. Continue to depress the
brake pedal.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the brake assist system
is not functioning.
