Servo assisted brakes
Your vehicle has servo assisted brakes
which works with the assistance of engine
vacuum.
w w w w w WARNING
Do not switch off the engine while
vehicle is in motion, for example,
while driving down a hill as this will
cause loss of vacuum assistance
leading to reduction of braking
efficiency substantially.
If servo assistance is lost due to a stalled
engine or other failures, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up each time you depress the brake pedal.
Apply smooth and constant pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.

w w w w w WARNING
Even without reserve power in the
brake system, you can still stop the
vehicle by pressing the brake pedal
harder than normally
However, the stopping distance may
be longer.
w w w w w WARNING
On loose surface where the wheels
can easily loose traction (such as
gravel, etc.), the stopping distance
required for your vehicle may be
greater than for a comparable vehicle
with a conventional brake system.
Allow for extra stopping distance
when driving on loose surfaces.
