CAUTION
“Riding” your brakes can
cause them to overheat to the
point that they won’t work well.
You might not be able to stop your
vehicle
in
time
to
avoid
an
accident. If you “ride” your
brakes, they will get so hot they
will require a lot
of
pedal force to
slow you down. Avoid “riding” the
brakes.

NOTICE
I
“Riding” the brakes wears them
out much faster.
You
would need
costly brake replacement much
sooner than normal, and it also
reduces fuel economy.
’you keep pace with the traffic
and
Uow realistic following distances, you
rill eliminate a lot
of
unnecessary
raking. That means better braking and
longer brake life.
If
your engine ever stops while
you’re
driving, brake
normally
but don’t
pump your brakes.
If
you do,
the
pedr
may get harder to push down.
If
your
engine stops, you will still have some
power brake assist.
But
you
will
use it
when you brake. Once the power
assist is used up, it may
take longer to
stop and the brake pedal
will
be
harder to push.
