and is operated by the right
foot. The auxiliary brake
serves as a backup to the main
brake system if the main
system becomes inoperative.
If the rear wheels slide while
using t he auxiliary brake,
reduce brake pedal pressure to brake t he rear wheels without skidding.
Brake F lu id Level
Check the brake fluid l evel frequently for the auxiliary brake system.
The reservoir is located under the seat or near the auxiliary brake.

death.
Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not
aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The
