WARNING - Brakes
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
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.
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.

been
affected  in  this  way.  Always
test your  brakes in  this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water.To dry the brakes, apply
them lightly while maintaining
a  safe   forward   speed   until
brake performance  returns to
normal.
•  Always, confirm  the  position
of  the  brake and  accelerator
pedal  before   driving.  If   you
don't check the position of the
accelerator  and  brake   pedal
When  descending  a  long  or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
(for
automatic
transaxle,
move the shift  lever to sports
mode)  and  avoid  continuous
application    of   the   brakes.
Continuous brake  application
will cause the  brakes to over-
heat and could result in a tem-
porary  loss   of  braking   per-
formance.
