2. When the brake pads have reached
their limit, a warning device in the
disc brakes makes a loud sound
when braking. Have the brake pads
replaced by your PROTON service
outlet when the sound is heard.
CAUTION
(1) Do not place thick floor mat or
any objects around the brake
pedal. These objects possibly
can prevent the full push of the
brake pedal stroke that is neces-
sary in an emergency. Make
sure that the brake pedal can
operate freely always.
(2) Do not place the left foot on
the brake pedal while driving.
This may result in accidental
application of hard braking.
The brake pads will overheat
and wear out quickly.
Brake Systems
OWN006START19046
Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD)
EBD electronically adjusts the brake
force between front and rear axles to
help reduce the distance for the vehicle
to stop.
Brake assist (BA)
When the system senses a panic-stop,
BA increases the level of brake force
after the brake pedal is pushed.
Traction Control (TC)
When the vehicle increases speed on wet
roads, TC maintain the drive-power and
prevents the front wheels from rotation.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When the brake pedal is pressed hard,
ABS does not let the wheels to lock,
keeps the forward-driving stable and
supplies sufficient brake force.
When the vehicle is driven on a road
that has a layer of snow, ice or oil and
the brake pedal is pressed hard, the ad-
ditional brake force may cause the
vehicle to slide. When the vehicle slides,
the brake force will decrease and the
distance for the vehicle to stop will in-
crease.
Driving hints
1. When sudden braking is applied
(the ABS will activate), the opera-
tion of the steering will change.
Steer the vehicle carefully in these
conditions.
2. The distance for the vehicles with
ABS to stop is shorter than the
vehicles without ABS. This differ-
ence will change according to the
road condition and other condi-
tions. Keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front for a vehicle
without an ABS.
3. The distance for the vehicles with
ABS to stop on a road with gravel
or snow is probably longer than the
vehicle without ABS. These roads
must be driven at lower speeds.
CAUTION
(1) ABS cannot fully prevent acci-
dents caused by weather or the
driver. For example, when over
speed at turns or aquaplaning.
In this condition, driver must
be responsible and take the
safety precaution.
(2) Make sure the same type and
size of tyres are used on all
four wheels.
(3) Do not replace the differential
of this vehicle with a limited
slip differential. The ABS prob-
ably may not be activated.
(4) If the tyres are mixed, The ABS
probably may not be activated.
