Stopping the vehicle
Brake disc cleaning
If there is a surface rust on the brake disc or squeal can be heard, operate brake disc
cleaning to clean the brake disc.
Electric energy economy may decrease whilst using brake disc cleaning because re
generative braking system is limited.
Operation
• Press and hold AUTO HOLD button more than 3 seconds.
◦ Brake disc cleaning starts when an alarm appears on the instrument cluster.
◦ Regenerative braking system is limited whilst braking about 10 times when you
drive, eliminating squeal and rust on the brake.
◦ Brake disc cleaning is turned off automatically when the operation is over. You
can also turn off the system by pressing and holding the AUTO HOLD button
more than 3 seconds.
WARNING
• Avoid applying the parking brake to stop the vehicle whilst it is moving except in an
emergency situation. Applying the parking brake whilst the vehicle is moving at nor
mal speeds can cause a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. If you must use the
parking brake to stop the vehicle, use great caution in applying the brake.
• Avoid continuous application of the brakes when descending a long or steep hill.
Continuous brake application will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• 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.
CAUTION
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will create abnormally
high brake temperatures which can cause excessive brake lining and pad wear.
• 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.
NOTE
• Do not continue depressing the brake pedal if the READY indicator is OFF. The bat
tery may be discharged.
• Noise and vibration generated during braking is normal.
• Under normal operation, electric brake pump noise and motor vibration may occur
temporarily in below cases.
