WARNING
!
● Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the
engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the engine while driving, the power
brake booster will stop working and your brakes
will not work as well.
● If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic
system stops working properly, have your vehicle
checked immediately.
Warning lamp
● The brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a fault in
the braking system. Read "Brake warning lamp" on page
3-13.
● On vehicles with the rear differential lock, the active sta-
bility & traction control (ASTC) and anti-lock brake sys-
tem (ABS) functions are suspended while the rear
differential lock is activated. ASTC indication lamp,
active stability control function OFF indication lamp,
ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are illumi-
nated while these functions are suspended. It does not
indicate a problem. When the rear differential lock is dis-
engaged, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to "Brake warning lamp" on page 3-13, "ABS
warning lamp" on page 4-60, "ASTC indication lamp" on
page 4-64, "Active stability control function OFF indica-
tion lamp" on page 4-67.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immedi-
ately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent
normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through large
puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the
brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by shift-
ing to a lower shift position while driving on steep downhill
roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
WARNING
!
● Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is
securely held in place.
