Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
In the event  of brake failure
(Continued)
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.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
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.
When descending a long or steep
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
Applying  the  parking  brake  while
the  vehicle   is  moving   at  normal
speeds can cause a sudden 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.
Wet brakes may result in the vehi-
cle not slowing down at the usual
rate and pulling to one side when
the brakes are applied.   Applying
the  brakes   lightly   will  indicate
whether they have been affected
in   this  way.   Always  test   your
brakes in this fashion after driv-
ing through deep water.To dry the
brakes,  apply  them  lightly  while
maintaining a safe forward speed
until  brake  performance  returns
to normal.
WARNING  - Brakes
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.
