7.CORRECT DRIVING OPERATION

W h e n b r a k i n g , a l w a y s d o s o i n
c o m b i n a t i o n w i t h t h e a u x i l i a r y
brakes. The vehicle is equipped with
auxiliary brakes. Disengaging the
clutch and shifting the shift lever to
n e u t r a l p o s i t i o n w i l l p r e v e n t t h e
auxiliary brakes from working, which
will reduce the braking force and
lengthen the stopping distance. Wait
until just before the vehicle stops to
d i s e n g a g e t h e c l u t c h . U s i n g t h e
auxiliary brakes will lengthen the life
of the brake linings.
•
Before descending down steep
roads or long downhill roads,
check the brakes ahead of time to
make sure that they are working
correctly. Then, always use the
auxiliary brake to maintain a safe
speed at all times. Shifting down
to avoid overrunning the engine
will also increase the braking
force of the auxiliary brake. Using
the foot brake too much will cause
the brake drum and brake linings
to overheat, which will decrease
the braking effect.
• If the driver feels that something
is wrong with the brake while driv-
ing, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe location and inspect
them.
CAUTION
When driving the vehicle after
w a s h i n g o r w h i l e d r i v i n g
t h r o u g h d e e p p u d d l e s , t h e
braking effect could be greatly
reduced by water getting on the
brakes.
CAUTION
Do not brake sharply except in
emergencies. Sharp braking
causes the tyres, brake drums
and brake linings to wear out
prematurely and will reduce the
life span of other parts.
