Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending down a long or steep
hill, use the paddle shifter and manually
downshift to a lower gear in order to
control your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause the
brakes to overheat and may result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down and the
vehicle may also pull to one side when
the brakes are applied. Applying the
brakes lightly indicates whether they
have been affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining a
safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal. Avoid
driving at high speeds until the brakes
function correctly.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you may hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front or
rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Always replace both the left and right
brake pads on the front and rear axles at
the same time.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
Applying the parking brake
To apply EPB (Electronic Parking Brake):
2C_EPBEngage
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Pull up the EPB switch.
Make sure the Parking Brake warning light
comes on.
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may be
automatically applied when:
• Requested by other systems
• The driver turns the vehicle off while
Auto Hold is operating.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake pedal
while driving, emergency braking is
possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch. Braking is possible only while
you are holding the EPB switch. However,
braking distance may be longer than
normal.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, do not operate the EPB while the
vehicle is moving except in an emergency
situation. It may damage the brake
system and cause a collision.
