WARNING!

•

Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dan-

gerous for a number of reasons. A child or others

could be injured. Children should be warned not

to touch the parking brake or the gear selector.

Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could

operate power windows, other controls, or move

the vehicle.

•

Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake

failure and an accident.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as

standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for

any reason (for example, repeated brake applications

with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The

effort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater

than that required with the power system operating.

WARNING!

Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and

possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting

or riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally

high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and

possible brake damage. You wouldn’t have your full

braking capacity in an emergency.

If either of the two hydraulic systems lose normal capa-

bility, the remaining system will still function with some

loss of overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident

by increased pedal travel during application and greater

pedal force required to slow or stop.
