WARNING! (Continued)
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren), and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
CAUTION!
If the "Brake Warning Light" remains on with
the parking brake released, a brake system
malfunction is indicated. Have the brake
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately.
BRAKE SYSTEM
(Continued)
Your vehicle is equipped with dual
hydraulic brake systems. If either
of the two hydraulic systems loses
normal capability, the remaining
system will still function. There will
be some loss of overall braking effectiveness.
This may be evident by increased pedal travel
during application, greater pedal force required
to slow or stop, and potential activation of the
"Brake Warning Light."
In the event power assist is lost for any reason
(for example, repeated brake applications with
the engine OFF) the brakes will still function.
The effort required to brake the vehicle will be
much greater than that required with the power
system operating.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance braking system. The brake pads are a
semi-metallic compound, which offer supe-
rior fade resistance for consistent opera-
tion. A compromise to using this type of
brake pad is that the brakes may produce
more brake dust and may squeal slightly
under certain weather and operating condi-
tions (.i.e., during light brake applications)
this is considered normal conditions.
