Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes  
In the event of brake failure
WARNING - Brakes
Your vehicle  has  power-assisted  brakes
that adjust  automatically  through normal
usage.
In   the  event   that   the  power-assisted
brakes  lose power  because  of a  stalled
engine  or  some  other  reason,  you can
still stop your vehicle  by applying greater
force  to  the brake  pedal  than  you  nor-
mally would. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When  the   engine   is  not   running,  the
reserve brake power  is partially depleted
each time  the brake pedal is  applied. Do
not  pump   the   brake  pedal   when   the
power assist has  been interrupted.
If service  brakes fail to operate  while the
vehicle  is  in  motion,  you can  make  an
emergency  stop with  the  parking brake.
The  stopping distance,  however,  will be
much greater than  normal.
Do  not drive  with  your foot  rest-
ing  on the  brake  pedal. This  will
create  abnormal high  brake  tem-
peratures, excessive  brake  lining
and   pad   wear,   and   increased
stopping distances.
When descending  a long orsteep
hill, shift   to   a  lower   gear   and
avoid  continuous   application  of
the   brakes.   Continuous    brake
application  will cause  the brakes
to overheat  and  could result  in a
temporary   loss  of   braking  per-
formance.
WARNING - Parking brake
Depressing the  parking brake while
the   vehicle  is   moving   at  normal
speeds can  cause asudden  loss   of
control  of  the vehicle.  If  you  must
use  the  parking  brake  to stop the
vehicle, use  great caution  in apply-
ing the brake.
