Brakes When the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is applied, the brake controller automatically detects the amount of deceleration requested and optimizes how much of the deceleration will be produced by regenerative braking. The remaining portion is generated by standard friction braking. When the battery is almost fully charged, the amount of regenerative braking is limited to avoid overcharging, and the requested deceleration is produced by standard friction braking alone. Regenerative braking does not take the place of the standard friction brakes; it only assists them. Regenerative braking has also been designed to interact with the anti-lock brake system. Regenerative braking is disabled when the anti-lock brake system is activated or the battery is fully charged. PARKING BRAKE WARNING Always set the parking brake fully and leave your vehicle with the transmission selector lever in position P. Note: Do not press the release button while pulling the lever up. To apply the parking brake: 1. Press the foot brake pedal firmly. 2. Pull the parking brake lever up to its fullest extent. Note: If you park your vehicle on a hill and facing uphill, move the transmission selector lever to position P and turn the steering wheel away from the curb. Note: If you park your vehicle on a hill and facing downhill, move the transmission selector lever to P and turn the steering wheel toward the curb. To release the parking brake: 1. Press the brake pedal firmly. 2. Pull the lever up slightly. 3. Press the release button and push the lever down. HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES Note: When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal. The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the risks when: • you drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you • your vehicle is hydroplaning • you take corners too fast • the road surface is poor. HILL START ASSIST WARNINGS The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle, always apply the parking brake and put the transmission in park (P). You must remain in your vehicle once you have activated the system. During all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. 157 C-MAX (CCG)

When the accelerator pedal is released or

the brake pedal is applied, the brake

controller automatically detects the

amount of deceleration requested and

optimizes how much of the deceleration

will be produced by regenerative braking.

The remaining portion is generated by

standard friction braking. When the battery

is almost fully charged, the amount of

regenerative braking is limited to avoid

overcharging, and the requested

deceleration is produced by standard

friction braking alone.

Regenerative braking does not take the

place of the standard friction brakes; it only

assists them. Regenerative braking has

also been designed to interact with the

anti-lock brake system. Regenerative

braking is disabled when the anti-lock

brake system is activated or the battery is

fully charged.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Note:

When the system is operating, the

brake pedal will pulse and may travel

further. Maintain pressure on the brake

pedal. You may also hear a noise from the

system. This is normal.

The anti-lock braking system will not

eliminate the risks when:

•

you drive too closely to the vehicle in

front of you

•

your vehicle is hydroplaning

•

you take corners too fast

•

the road surface is poor.
