If the vehicle suddenly becomes difficult to brake,
depress the brake pedal as much as possible,
downshift to increase the engine braking effect, and
use the exhaust brake to stop the vehicle. Set the
parking brake if necessary. Contact an authorized
Sterling service facility right away.
When the engine stalls, it has the following effects:
• Braking becomes more difficult. Exert extra
force on the brake pedal.
• The power steering assist ceases to function,
making steering difficult. Use additional force
when turning the steering wheel.
Drive the vehicle to the side of the road as soon as
it is safe to do so. With the vehicle stopped, try to
start the engine.
Avoid sudden braking. Hold the steering wheel
firmly, and gradually slow down before pulling over
at a safe place.
To replace the tire, select a level surface where your
vehicle will not hinder traffic. P. 12-55
Difficult braking
WARNING
• Do not apply the parking brake with full
force while the vehicle is in motion. This
could cause the vehicle to skid, and result
in a personal injury.
• Never continue driving with the brake sys-
tem malfunctioning or leaking fluid. This
could lead to an injury accident or loss of
life.
