Brakes

Brakes
The braking system is designed for
braking performance under a wide
range of driving conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with front
and rear disc brakes and a dual
circuit braking system.
If one brake circuit should fail, the
vehicle can still be stopped with the
remaining circuit, however, stopping
distance will be increased and more
brake pedal pressure will be
required.
{Warning
If one of the circuits fail, the brake
pedal must be pressed with greater
pedal pressure and the braking
distance is increased.
Have the brake system checked
and repaired by a repairer
immediately.
{Warning
If the brake pedal can be pressed
further than normal, the brakes
may be in need of repair.
Consult a repairer immediately.
Caution
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal.
Doing so will accelerate wear of
the brake components. The
brakes may also become
overheated, resulting in longer
braking distance and an unsafe
condition.
Center high-mounted stop lamp (or
with brake lamps) blinks several
times to alert drivers coming behind
your vehicle on the following
condition:
Driving and operating 263
- Although brakes are operated, a
vehilcle runs more than a certain
speed.
- When ABS is working at that
time.
Wet brakes
Driving through water or washing
your car can get the brake
components wet.
To restore normal braking:
1. Check behind you for other
vehicles.
2. Keep a safe forward speed with
plenty of space to your rear and
sides.
3. Gently apply brakes until normal
performance is restored.
