Brakes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA
automatically boosts the braking force to its
maximum, in order to bring the vehicle to a halt
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the
brakes slowly, but conditions mean that ABS
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase
the braking force in order to apply ABS control
to the rear wheels.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes
will still function with the engine off,
but far more pressure will be required
to operate them.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
If the red brake warning lamp
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible and
seek qualified assistance.
The amber brake warning lamp
illuminates briefly when the
ignition is turned on.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any other obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
amber brake warning lamp illuminating and an
associated warning message. Gently and safely
stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brakes intermittently, to
dry the brakes.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
EBD controls the balance of braking forces
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.
BRAKE WARNING LAMPS
The ABS warning lamp illuminates
briefly when the ignition is turned
on.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example), EBD will reduce the
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the
vehicle is heavily laden, EBD will allow greater
braking force to the rear wheels.
If this amber warning lamp illuminates when
driving (accompanied by an associated
warning message), drive with extra caution,
avoid heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
The red brake warning lamp
illuminates briefly when the
ignition is turned on.
A fault with the EBD system is indicated by the
red brake warning lamp illuminating and an
associated warning message. Gently and safely
stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance.
