Disc brakes wear indicator
The front or rear brakes will squeal when
the brake pads are worn. Always replace
the front or rear brake pads as pairs.
Brake disc cleaning
If there is a surface rust on the brake
disc or squeal can be heard, select level
0 of the regenerative brake system.
The regenerative brake system will be
temporarily deactivated to clean the
brake disc.
僅 Avoid applying the parking brake to
stop the vehicle while it is moving
except in an emergency situation.
Applying the parking brake while the
vehicle is moving at normal speeds
can cause a sudden loss of control of
the vehicle. If you must use the park
-
ing brake to stop the vehicle, use
great caution in applying the brake.
僅 Avoid continuous application of the
brakes when descending a long or
steep hill. Continuous brake applica
-
tion will cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.
僅 Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking performance,
which could lead to a serious accident.
僅 Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. This will create
abnormally high brake temperatures
which can cause excessive brake lin
-
ing and pad wear.
僅 Do not continue to drive with worn
brake pads. Continuing to drive with
worn brake pads can damage the
braking system and result in costly
brake repairs.
