Power brakes
In the event of brake failure
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.
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.
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.
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 impair  the vehi-
cle’s ability  to sefely slow  down;
the vehicle  may also  pull 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
driving  through  deep   water.  To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining  a safe  forward
speed  until   brake   performance
returns to normal.
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.
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.
