BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes  
In the event of brake failure
WARNING - Brakes
Your   vehicle   has   power-assisted       If service brakes  fail to operate while
brakes    that   adjust    automatically      the   vehicle  is  in   motion,  you   can
through normal  usage.
•
•
Do  not   drive  with  your   foot
resting   on  the   brake   pedal.
This will create  abnormal high
brake   temperatures,    exces-
sive   brake    lining   and   pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When  descending   a  long   or
steep hill,shift  to  a lower gear
and avoid continuous  applica-
tion of the brakes. Continuous
brake   application  will   cause
the   brakes  to   overheat   and
could   result in  a   temporary
loss of braking  performance.

make  an  emergency  stop  with   the
parking   brake.   The  stopping    dis-
tance, however, will be  much greater
than normal.
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  normally would.  The
stopping  distance,  however,  will  be
somewhat 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.
WARNING - Parking brake
Operating    the   parking   brake
while  the  vehicle is  moving  at
normalspeeds  can cause asud-
den loss  of  control of  the vehi-
cle. If you  must use the  parking
brake  to stop  the  vehicle,  use
great   caution in   applying  the
brake.
(Continued)
Pump  the   brake  pedal  only   when
necessary  to maintain  steering con-
trol on slippery  surfaces.
