WARNING
The vehicle can roll away if left unattended without confirming that Park (P) is
engaged. Always keep your foot on the brake pedal until you have confirmed
that P is shown on the gear position indicator.
NOTICE
When you change from D to R and vice versa or want to change to Park (P),
come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal applied. Operating the gear
buttons before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the
transmission.

Braking

Slow down or stop your vehicle and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
n
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System
n
During hard or emergency braking,
the system increases braking force.
The brake pedal may move slightly or
make a noise; this is normal. Continue
to hold the brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
n
During hard or emergency braking,
the system rapidly pumps the brakes
to prevent wheel lockup and help
you maintain steering control. Do
not pump the brake pedal, rather
continue to hold it firmly down.
When ABS activates, you may notice
vibrations through the brake pedal or
the vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a
noise from the motor compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a sound from the
motor compartment, especially when the power system is first started or
after repeated use of the brakes.
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and
size.
