BRAKE OPERATION
Brake Safety Information
DANGER
DO NOT inspect or adjust parts or
components in the brake system without
setting the parking brake, placing the
transmission in neutral and securely
chocking the wheels. If the vehicle is not
secured to prevent uncontrolled vehicle
movement, it could roll and cause severe
personal injury or death.
DANGER
DO NOT use replacement parts anywhere
in the brake system unless it conforms
exactly to original specifications. A
nonconforming part in your vehicle’s
brake system could cause a malfunction,
leading to loss of control of the vehicle
resulting in severe personal injury or
death.
DANGER
DO NOT ride the brakes going down
steep hills. The brakes could overheat and
lose their effectiveness. Always choose
a low gear before going down the grade
and reduce speed to help control vehicle
speed. Losing the brakes going downhill
can lead to an accident causing serious
personal injury or death.
