2018 Acura RDX Owners Manual - Braking



Braking

Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.

Foot Brake

Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your vehicle from moving.

Brake Assist System

During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the brake pedal firmly down.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake pedal may pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, and continue to hold it firmly down.

NOTICE

The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.

Parking Brake

Keep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.

To apply: Press the parking brake with your foot.

To release: Press the brake pedal, then press the parking brake until it releases.

NOTICE

Release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle can be damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.
