strument cluster only illuminates when the parking
brake is applied.

CAUTION
l
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the
parking brake.

CAUTION
l
If this warning stays illuminated and
does not go out while driving, there is a
danger of ineffective braking. In this
case, immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to
have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed
and the brake warning lamp and the ABS
warning lamp are illuminated at the same
time, the braking force distribution func-
tion will not operate, so the vehicle may
be destabilised during sudden braking.
Avoid sudden braking and high-speed
driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake per-
formance 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 brak-
ing to reduce your speed and pull the
parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp to alert the vehicles be-
hind you.
