Convenient features of your vehicle
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems fails.
With only one of the dual systems
working, longer pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure may be
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance only with one por-
tion of the brake systems working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

ing light ON is dangerous. If the
