WARNING
A new tire and brake lining having
not undergone running-in do not
have the best adhesion and friction
characteristics.
● Newtiresdonotyethavethebest
adhesion, so please drive carefully
fortherst500kmtoavoidaccidents!
● Newbrakeliningsin therst200km
to 300km driving distance do not get
the best friction characteristics, and
braking effects are not as good as
expected, so new brake linings must
be subject to running-in. Braking
effects can be compensated by
increasing the force applied to the
brake pedal. New brake linings must
also be subject to running-in.
● Duringdriving,donotgettooclose
to other vehicles or bring the vehicle
to a situation where emergency
braking is necessary. Take care
especially when driving with a new
tire and new brake lining having not
undergone running-in, for fear of
accidents!
WARNING
When the brake is wet or icy or when
the vehicle is running on a salted road,
the braking lag may occur, resulting in
a longer braking distance. Therefore, be
careful to prevent accidents.
● Alongerbrakingdistanceorafaultin
the braking system will increase the
accident rate.
● Lightlydepressthebrakepedalto
check the brake.
● Lightlydepressthebrakepedalto
dry brakes or remove ice or anti-skid
salt from brakes.
WARNING
When brakes are overheated, braking
effects will reduce, increasing the
braking distance!
● Takecareto avoidoverheating
brakes.
● Whendrivingdownhill,brakesare
likely to be overheated as the brake
load increases.
● Itisrecommendedtoengagealow
gear (in manual mode) before driving
down a long and steep slope to
reduce the vehicle speed, and make
full use of the engine braking effect
to reduce the brake load.
● Do notkeepdepressingthebrake
pedal. Otherwise, the brake will
overheat and the braking distance
increases. Brake the vehicle
intermittently according to road and
tra󰀩cconditions.
