13-28 Useful advice for emergencies
Depress the brake pedal harder than usual, down-
shift to use engine braking and activate exhaust
braking <option> to stop the vehicle. Apply the park-
ing brake when necessary. After the vehicle has
been brought into a stop, check parts, then have an
authorized dealer perform necessary inspection.
The vehicle will be set into the following very dan-
gerous condition. Pull the vehicle over when safe to
do so and try to start the engine.
• The braking force reduces extremely. You must
exert additional force on the brake pedal to
apply the brakes.
• The power steering system then becomes inop-
erative, making steering extremely difficult.
Additional force must be used when turning the
steering wheel.
Avoid sudden braking. Hold the steering wheel
firmly, and gradually slow down before pulling over
at a safe place.
To replace the tire, select a flat surface where your
vehicle will not hinder traffic. P. 12-69
When braking is sluggish
WARNING
• Never use the parking brake during driving
except in an emergency. Pulling the park-
ing brake lever with full force while driving
could cause the vehicle to topple over.
• Never continue driving with the brake sys-
tem malfunctioning or leaking fluid.
If the engine stalls while the vehicle
is in motion
If a tire goes flat while the vehicle is
in motion
