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,  use  the  regenera-
tive braking  mode by shifting
to L (Low) gear and avoid con-
tinuous   application    of   the
brakes.  Applying  the  brakes
continuously  will   cause   the
brakes to  overheat and could
result  in a  temporary loss  of
braking performance.
If the  power cell  module is  not run-
ning 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  power  cell module  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.
