Brake booster
The brake booster utilizes engine manifold
vacuum to assist braking force.
w WARNING
If the engine is stopped while driving,
braking will require more force than
usual and stopping distance will
increase.
In this case, shift the gear to neutral
and get the vehicle to the side of the
road safely. Put the hazard lights on
once you have stopped and get an
authorised Perodua Service Centre
or tow truck service for assistance.
General precautions for braking
w WARNING
• Do not depress the brake pedal
immediately after the tyre is
punctured. This could cause a loss
of control of the vehicle.
• Make sure that the floor mat
does not interfere with the free
movement of the pedal.
• Braking effectiveness will be
reduced with moisture or salt.
Lightly depress the brake pedal
several times to remove moisture
or salt.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.This could
cause brake overheating.
• Do not depress the brake pedal
continuously when descending
a steep grade. Downshift to get
engine braking.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)*
The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is a
system which prevents the wheels from
being locked during hard braking or braking
on a slippery road surface, thereby enhancing
the vehicle stability and controllability.
There will be instances where the brake
pedal vibrates or emits operating sounds
when the brake pedal is being depressed.
This is a symptom that the ABS is functioning
properly.
Further, you may hear a sound emitted from
the engine compartment for several seconds
when the vehicle reaches a certain speed
after the vehicle moved off.
This is not an abnormal symptom. The sound
is emitted from the ABS system when it is
conducting its initial, self- diagnosis.
E B D ( E l e c t r o n i c B r a k e
Distribution)
The EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution)
is a function whereby an optimum braking
force is distributed according to the running
condition and loaded condition of the vehicle.
Thus, the effectiveness of braking under
a loaded state will be assured at all times.
