TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Braking
Your vehicle has full-air brakes for strong
braking force with only a light pressure
on the brake pedal. Do not press the
brake pedal hard except in the event of an
emergency.
1. Braking distances vary according to
the vehicle speed and road conditions.
First, slow down sufficiently using the
engine brake and the exhaust brake.
2. Press the brake pedal and keep it
pressed toward the point at which you
want the vehicle to stop.
3. Ease off the brake pedal.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the brake pedal to fully
return. If you allow the brake pedal
to fully return, there will be a short
delay before the brakes start to work
the next time you press the pedal,
meaning that the stopping distance
may be increased.
• Unnecessary frequent depression
and release of the brake pedal
reduces the vehicle's air pressure,
thereby detracting from brake
effectiveness.
4. Immediately before the point where
you want the vehicle to stop, gently
press the brake pedal to bring the
vehicle to a halt.
