Brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and
rear.
Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced
stopping distance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. After a car wash or driving the vehicle through
water, dab the brake pedal while driving to remove the film
of water from the brake pads. Brake pads feature wear
indicator. When the brake pad is worn, metallic squeal noise
is heard indicating the pad wear. Have them replaced
immediately.
WARNING
!
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping
distance increases considerably when braking.
Dry the brakes by driving at very slow speed and
applying the brakes lightly until the brake
performance become normal.
CAUTION
!
Even if the power assist (hydraulic assistance) is
completely lost, the brakes will still work. The brake
pedal would be much harder than normal and the
vehicle stopping / braking distance will be longer than
usual.
Parking on a Hill/Incline
If you have to park facing uphill, select first gear and turn the
front wheels away from the kerb. If you have to park facing
downhill, select reverse gear and turn the front wheels
towards the kerb. Always ensure the vehicle is in gear and
parking brakes is engaged before leaving the vehicle.
Parking Brake

firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the
ignition ON, the brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster
illuminates. To release the parking brake, pull the parking
brake lever up slightly, press the release button on the lever
tip and lower the parking brake lever completely.
