264 Driving and operating

Overheated brakes

Braking excessively when going

down a long, steep hill can

temporarily overheat the brakes.

Shift to a lower gear when going

down hills. Do not continuously apply

the brakes.

Antilock brake system

(ABS)

Antilock brake system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake

pressure as soon as a wheel shows

a tendency to lock. The vehicle

remains steerable, even during hard

braking.

ABS control is made apparent

through a pulse in the brake pedal

and the noise of the regulation

process.

For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that

the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce

the pressure on the pedal.

The ABS control can be known by

vibration and noise of the ABS

process.

To optimum stop the vehicle, keep

depressing the footbrake even if the

brake pedal vibrate.

{Warning

After driving through deep water,

washing the vehicle, or using the

brakes excessively when going

down a steep hill, the brakes can

temporarily lose their stopping

power. This may be due to wet

brake components or overheating.

If your brakes temporarily lose their

stopping power because of

overheating:

Shift to a lower gear when going

down hills. Do not continuously

apply the brakes.

If your brakes temporarily lose their

power because of wet brake

components, the following

procedure will help restore their

normal performance:

1. Check behind you for other

vehicles.

2. Keep a safe forward speed with

plenty of space to your rear and

sides.

3. Gently apply the brakes until

normal performance is

restored.

{Warning

When brake noise is heard, do not

continue to drive your vehicle.

This may indicate the brake pads

need to be repaired or replaced.

Driving with worn brake pads could

result in a collision and personal

injury.
