Foot Brake
This vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal

applying greater force than normal to the
brake pedal. But the distance required to
stop will be greater than usual.

is dangerous. Braking will require more
eort,
and the brake's power-assist could
be depleted if you pump the brake. This will
cause longer stopping distances or even an
accident.
Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep hills:
Driving with your foot continuously on the
brake pedal or steadily applying the brakes
for long distances is dangerous. This causes
overheated brakes, resulting in longer
stopping distances or even total brake
failure. This could cause loss of vehicle

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the vehicle
pulling to one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light braking
will indicate whether the brakes have been
aected.

reaction time to an emergency situation
resulting in insucient braking
operation.
Wear shoes appropriate for driving in
