Braking

Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your
vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System
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)
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 motor noise
from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a motor sound from the
engine compartment, especially when the engine 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.
Parking Brake
Keep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.
To apply: Pull the lever up fully without pressing the
release button.
To release: Press and hold the release button, then
lower the lever down all the way.
NOTICE
release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle can be
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.
