MAINTENANCE
Brake pedal
Avoid sudden brake and stoppage of your
vehicle. Use heavy gears, 1 or 2, while
running downhill to reduce unnecessary and
continuous brakes. To increase the brake
safety a mechanical brake button (STOP)
has been added.
After driving through a large puddle of
water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal
4
lightly until your brakes work normally. If the
brakes are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the brakes
while driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness
Do not "ride" the brakes by applying them
continuously or resting your foot on the
pedal. This will result in overheating of the
brakes which could cause unpredictable
braking action, longer stopping distances,
or permanent brake damage. In a long-
distance driving or continuous braking,
have the vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. For more security of the automobile
and passengers, two circuit brakes is used
so that if any leakage or breakdown is made
at one the brake circuits, the second circuit
can stop the vehicle properly.
56
Clutch pedal
Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal. It could result in excessive
clutch wear, clutch damage, or unexpected
loss of engine braking.
Warning
Never travel fast before engine gets
warm. If the engine does not go off
by the switch, press brake pedal,
engage the gear and take your foot
off the clutch until the engine goes off.
