Parking brake

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.

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. Do not pump the brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.

When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or the vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a motor noise from the engine compartment. These are all normal.

In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a motor sound from the engine compartment, especially when the engine is first started or after repeated use of the brakes.

NOTICE

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