Warning!
The hydraulic brake assistant cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded. The
hydraulic brake assistant cannot prevent
accidents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydro
planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. The capa
bilities of a hydraulic brake assistant
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user's safety or the
safety of others.

Activating the hazard warning
flasher after an emergency
braking maneuver
If you bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
hard braking at a speed of more than 43 mph
(70 km/h), the hazard warning flasher auto
matically comes on as soon as the vehicle is at
a standstill. The hazard warning flasher will
remain on until it is switched off using the
hazard warning flasher switch ( page 107)
or until the speed of the vehicle has exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h).
