CAUTION

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.

Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side

of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may

not securely hold the vehicle.

●

If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles

closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed

more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.

●

Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.

Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.

●

The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems

fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed

more firmly than usual and braking distance will increase.

If this happens, do not continue to drive the vehicle. Have your brakes fixed

immediately.

NOTICE

■

While driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving,

as this may restrain driving torque.

●

Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at

the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the

vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
