Braking; Antilock Braking System (Abs) - Mitsubishi FUSO FE 2006 Owner's Manual

When driving downhill, use engine braking as well
as exhaust braking in combination with the foot
brake.
WARNING
Z01416
•
When warning lamps
light up, immediately stop the vehicle and
perform necessary checks.
•
Using the exhaust brake on a wet, frozen,
snow-covered, or otherwise slippery road
surface when the vehicle is lightly loaded
or not loaded can cause the tires to slip on
the road surface, resulting in a skid. Do
not use the exhaust brake on slippery road
surfaces.
•
Sudden braking will wear down tires and
could cause malfunctions in other sec-
tions of the vehicle. Avoid sudden braking
except in emergencies.
Sudden braking could also result in an
injury due to shocks.
1. Use engine braking and exhaust brake to decel-
erate sufficiently before applying the brakes.
2. Depressing the brake pedal in two or three
stages contributes to stable braking.
Remember that the braking distance varies with
vehicle speed, load weight, and road conditions.
NOTE:
Engine braking is a braking effect realized when the
accelerator pedal is released during vehicle opera-
tion. The lower the transmission gear, the more
powerful the engine braking.

Antilock braking system (ABS)

The ABS operates automatically without need for
any manual control. However, you are requested to
read the following instructions and precautions to
ensure safe driving with your ABS-equipped vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Even the ABS cannot remove limitations on
the vehicle's running and braking perfor-
mance. It is your responsibility to judge road
and other conditions properly and drive
safely on slippery surfaces.
