Apply the brakes to test them briefly after
driving off. Perform this procedure only
when the road is clear of other traffic.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may
be the reason for low brake fluid in the
reservoir.
If other than recommended brake pads are
installed, or other than recommended brake
fluid is used, the braking properties of the
vehicle can be degraded to an extent that
safe braking is substantially impaired. This
could result in an accident.
Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not
place full load on the engine until the
operating temperature has been reached.
The brake fluid level in the reservoir may
be too low if the brake warning lamp in the

performance and causes premature brake and
drivetrain wear.
All checks and service work on the brake
system should be carried out by qualified
technicians only. Contact an authorized

To ensure sufficient traction during
off-road driving, activate differential locks
as needed (୴ page 175).
