2-3. Parking the vehicle
Stopping
1
Depress the brake pedal.
WARNING
Drive more carefully than normal when the brakes are wet. When the brakes are
●
wet, the braking distance will increase. Also, the brakes will be difficult to apply
and, depending on the situation, braking performance may differ between the left
and right sides. Additionally, the parking brake may not be able to be securely
applied.
●
If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely
and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still
possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also,
the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
●
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.Each push on the brake pedal
uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
If the brake hydraulic system malfunctions, have it repaired immediately. The brake
●
system consists of 2 independent systems and if a hydraulic system fails, the other
system will operate. In this situation, it will be necessary to depress the brake pedal
more than normal and braking distance will be increased.
NOTICE
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
2
If necessary, set the parking brake.
If the vehicle is to be stopped for an extended period of time, shift the shift position to P.
WARNING
■
When the vehicle is stopped
Do not race the engine.
●
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly
and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
●
In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depress-
ing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as
necessary.
●
If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by the
vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely
apply the parking brake as needed.
