the same time as the ABS warning
lamp, the brake force distribution
function may be not working so hard

CAUTION
!
● The vehicle should be brought to a halt
in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than
usual. Even if the brake pedal moves
down to the very end of its possible
stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine
braking to reduce your speed and
slowly pull the parking brake lever to
park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp (brake lamp) to alert
the vehicles behind you.
