Braking system

Power-assist brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the
brakes does not work. You can still stop
your vehicle by applying greater force to
the brake pedal than typical. The stopping
distance, however, may be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is depressed.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
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.
• While driving on a road with deicing
chemicals, brake noise or abnormal tire
wear may occur because of deicing
chemicals. In a safe traffic condition,
additionally apply the brakes to remove
deicing chemicals on the brake discs
and pads.
