Driving your vehicle Brake system
Never engage the parking brake
whilst performing these tests.
Dynamometer testing
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle whilst the vehicle is in gear
on the dynamometer. This is very
dangerous as the vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury or
death.
䳜 When lifting up the vehicle, do not
operate front and rear wheel sep
-
arately. All four wheels should be
operated.
䳜 If you need to operate the front
wheel and rear wheel when lifting
up the vehicle, you should release
the parking brake.
Brake system
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes, parking brake, and various
braking systems for safe driving.
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-
assisted brakes lose power because
of a stalled engine or some other
reason, you can still stop your vehi
-
cle by applying greater force to the
brake pedal than you normally
would. The stopping distance, how
-
ever, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con
-
trol on slippery surfaces.
Brake pedal
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormally high brake tempera
-
tures which can cause excessive
brake lining and pad wear.
