BRAKING SYSTEM
Power brakes
WARNING
(Continued)
Your   vehicle   has   power-assisted
brakes   that    adjust   automatically
through normal usage.
Wet  brakes   may  impair   the
vehicle’s ability to safely  slow
down;  the  vehicle   may  also
pull   to  one   side   when  the
brakes  are  applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
Take the following precautions:
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.  Applying
the  brakes  continuously  will
cause the  brakes to  overheat
and  could result  in  a tempo-
rary  loss of  braking perform-
ance.
If  the  engine  is   not  running  or  is
turned  off  while  driving,  the  power
assist  for  the brakes  will  not  work.
You  can  still  stop   your  vehicle  by
applying  greater force  to  the  brake
pedal than typical. The  stopping dis-
tance,  however, will  be  longer  than
with power brakes.
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.
whether
they
have
been
affected  in  this  way.  Always
test your  brakes in  this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water.To  dry the brakes, light-
ly tap  the brake pedal to  heat
up the brakes  while maintain-
ing a safe forward  speed until
brake performance  returns to
normal. Avoid  driving at  high
speeds until  the brakes  func-
tion correctly.
Pump  the  brake   pedal  only  when
necessary to  maintain steering  con-
trol on slippery surfaces.
