1. Brake pedal
Braking effect is proportional to the
force applied on the lever and to the
type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles,
the vehicle weight is transferred to the
front wheels when braking. To obtain
greater stopping efficiency, the brake
system distributes more braking force
to the front wheels. This will affect
vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.

18) Vehicle Lock

As a precaution for theft prevention,
use the lock provided with the vehicle
to lock steering column.
Be sure that the ignition switch
is turned to OFF position and the
parking brake is applied before in-
stalling or removing the lock.
The lock installation brackets are locat-
ed at the base of the steering column.
