WARNING - Brakes
Your   vehicle   has   power-assisted
brakes   that    adjust   automatically
through normal usage.
To dry the brakes,  apply them
lightly   while   maintaining    a
safe forward speed until brake
performance  returns   to  nor-
mal.
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.
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
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.
Always,  confirm  the position
of  the  brake and  accelerator
pedal  before   driving.  If   you
don't check the position of the
