9-16 Driving and Operating
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.
Centre high-mounted brake lamp (or
with brake lamps) flashes several
times to alert drivers coming behind
your vehicle on the following
condition:
Although brakes are operated, a
vehicle 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.
Overheated brakes
Braking excessively when going
down a long, steep hill can
temporarily overheat the brakes.
Shift to a lower gear when going
down hills. Do not continuously
apply the brakes.
Warning
After driving through deep water,
washing the vehicle, or using the
brakes excessively when going
down a steep hill, the brakes can
temporarily lose their stopping
power. This may be due to wet
brake components or
overheating.
If your brakes temporarily lose
their stopping power because of
overheating:
Shift to a lower gear when going
down hills. Do not continuously
apply the brakes.
