operating correctly, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake warn-
ing lamp is off.

CAUTION
!
● If the brake warning lamp comes on at
the same time as the ABS warning
lamp, the brake force distribution
function is not working so hard brak-
ing could make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and we recommend you to have it
checked.
● The vehicle should be brought to a halt
in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than
usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down
to the very end of its possible stroke,
keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine
braking to reduce your speed and
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp to alert the vehicles
behind you.
