Brake Precautions
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency.Gently press the brake pedal a few times when leaving a car wash or driving from standing water to dry the brakes.
Note: Depending on applicable laws and regulations in the country for which your vehicle was originally built, your brake lamps may flash during heavy braking. Following this, your hazard lights may also flash when your vehicle comes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does not eliminate the risk of crash when:
- You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you.
- Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
- You take corners too fast.
- The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brake pedal could pulse and travel further.Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Move the transmission to park (P), switch the engine off and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interference. If none are found and the condition persists, have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
