BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
(Continued)
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.

of the brake and accelerator
