7-7
On downhill grades, use the engine brake and the
exhaust brake to slow the vehicle, before using the
service brakes to stop the vehicle. Do not rely
exclusively on the service brakes.
P. 7-9
1. When the
,
, and/or
warning lights
illuminate, stop the vehicle immediately and per-
form the necessary checks.
P. 6-6
2. Brake the vehicle slowly. For smoother, more
stable braking, lift up on the brake pedal two or
three times as you gradually bring the vehicle to
a complete stop.
Remember that the braking distance can vary
according to vehicle speed, load weight, and
road conditions.
NOTE:
The engine brake takes effect whenever the accel-
erator pedal is released. The lower the transmission
gear, the more powerful the engine braking.
ABS is an electronic braking control system that
operates automatically without the need for driver
intervention.
Braking
WARNING
•
If any of the brake warning lights illumi-
nate, there is a possibility of brake failure.
Brake failure could cause an injury acci-
dent or loss of life.
•
Do not use the exhaust brake on slippery
road surfaces. The vehicle may skid, caus-
ing an injury accident or loss of life.
•
Avoid sudden braking except in emergen-
cies. Sudden braking causes tire wear and
could cause other vehicle malfunctions.
Worn tires can cause an injury accident or
loss of life. The shock of sudden braking
could also result in an injury.
Antilock braking system (ABS)
WARNING
Although ABS improves vehicle control dur-
ing emergency braking situations, the driver
still has the responsibility to judge driving
conditions, respond to them alertly, and drive
safely in unfavorable situations. For exam-
ple, ABS cannot prevent an injury accident or
loss of life if the driver is speeding or follow-
ing too close.
