Brakes
General n n otes
•
Brake lining wear depends to a large
extent on the operating conditions and
style of driving. On vehicles which are
used mainly in town traffic and stop/start
conditions or are driven hard it may be
necessary to have the thickness of the
brake linings checked by a Technical
Service Centre in between the intervals
given in the Inspection and Service
Schedule.
•
Change down in good time when dri-
ving downhill, in order to make use of the
engine braking effect. This relieves strain
on the brake system. When the brakes are
applied do not keep them on continu-
ously, apply and release alternately.
