Brakes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
STEEP SLOPES
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery
slope, it may begin to slide even with the brakes
applied. This is because without wheel rotation,
the ABS cannot determine vehicle movement.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while the vehicle is in motion.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the engine off, but
far more pressure will be required to
operate them.
To counteract this, briefly release the brakes to
allow some wheel rotation and then re-apply
the brakes to allow ABS to gain control.
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA
automatically boosts the braking force to its
maximum, in order to bring the vehicle to a halt
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the
brakes slowly, but conditions mean that ABS
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase
the braking force in order to apply ABS control
to the rear wheels.
If the red brake warning lamp
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible and seek
qualified assistance.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any other obstructions under
the pedals. This restricts pedal travel
and braking efficiency.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
brake warning lamp (see 50, BRAKE (AMBER))
illuminating and an associated warning
message. Drive with care, avoiding heavy brake
application and seek qualified assistance.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brakes intermittently, to
dry the brakes.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
HILL START ASSIST
Hill Start Assist activates when starting a hill
ascent from a stationary position. When the foot
brake is released Hill Start Assist smoothly
releases the brake pressure, allowing the vehicle
to move away without rolling backwards.
EBD controls the balance of braking forces
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example), EBD will reduce the
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the
vehicle is heavily laden, EBD will allow greater
braking force to the rear wheels.
Any fault with Hill Start Assist will be indicated
by the DSC warning lamp being illuminated and
a message in the message centre.
