BRAKING SYSTEM

Power Brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the power is not supplied such as
battery discharge, the power assist
for the brakes will not work. You can
still stop your vehicle by applying
greater force to the brake pedal than
typical. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer than with power
brakes.
Do not pump the brake pedal when
the power assist has been interrupt-
ed.
i
Information
• When the brake pedal is depressed
under certain driving conditions
or weather conditions, you may
temporarily hear a noise. This is
normal and does not indicate a
problem with your brakes.
5-18
• While driving on a road with deic-
ing chemicals, brake noise or abnor-
mal tire wear may occur due to
deicing chemicals. In a safe traffic
condition, additionally apply the
brakes to remove deicing chemicals
on the brake discs and pads.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
•
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
•
When descending down a
long or steep hill, use the pad-
dle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking
control in order to control
your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
Applying the brakes continu-
ously will cause the brakes to
overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
•
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
