Braking OWN006START16032
Each component of the brake system is
important to safety. Drive the vehicle to
an authorised PROTON service outlet to
do the service maintenance at the recom-
mended periodical service interval in the
service booklet.
Brake system
1. The brake system is divided into
two brake circuits. If one brake cir-
cuit has a failure, the other brake
circuit is available to stop the
vehicle. If this condition occurs,
press the brake pedal harder. Stop
driving immediately and have the
brake system repaired at the author-
ised PROTON service outlet.
2. When the engine does not operate,
the brake force of the brake boost-
er decreases after pushing the
brake pedal one or two times. In
this situation, press the brake pedal
harder than usual.
Warning lamp
The parking brake warning lamp
shows you if the brake system operates
correctly.
WARNING
(1) When pressing the brake pedal
harder, the applied brake force
will immediately lock each
wheel from rotation. This ac-
tion possibly becomes very
dangerous if the brake pedal
is pressed hard on a wet road.
The vehicle will slide.
(2) On vehicles with ABS system,
the wheels are electronically
controlled when the hard
braking pressure is applied
.Pulsation will be felt when the
brake pedal is pressed. System
prevents the vehicle from slid-
ing.
(3) If the brake system has a fail-
ure, the parking brake warning
lamp will illuminate. In
this situation, drive slowly to
an authorised PROTON service
outlet immediately for inspec-
tion.
When the brake discs are wet
After driving in a heavy rain, the brake
discs will be wet. While driving at a low
speed immediately after the engine has
started, press the brake pedal to make
sure the brakes operate correctly.
If the brakes do not operate correctly,
lightly press and release the brake pedal
while driving. Do this procedure again
until the brake discs dry.
When driving downhill
The brakes will overheats when applied
driving downhill. To reduce speed, use
a lower gear.
Brake pads and linings
1. When your vehicle has new brake
pads or brake linings, do not apply
the brakes hard for the first 200
kilometres of driving.
