Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will cause an over-
heated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of
brakes and/or fire, resulting in serious injury or death.
When traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the
brakes may cause the brake system to overheat and result in brake failure.
