BRAKE SYSTEM
If  either   of  the   two  hyd rau lic  system s  lose
norm al  capability,  the   rem aining  system   will
still function   with som e loss  of overall  braking
effectiveness.  This  will be evid ent  by increased
pedal  travel   during  application   and   greater  pedal   force
requ ired to slow  or stop . In addition,  if the malfunction   is
caused   by  an  internal   leak,   as  the  brake   fluid   in  the
master  cylind er  drop s, the  brake  warning   ind icator will
light.
Your  vehicle  is equ ipped  with  power   assisted  brakes  as
stand ard  equ ipment.  In the  event  power  assist  is lost for
any  reason   (for   exam ple,  rep eated  brake   applications
with  the  engine  off), the  brakes  will still  function.  How-
ever, the  effort requ ired to brake  the  vehicle will  be much
greater  than  that  requ ired  with  the  power   system  oper-
ating.
