IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while the vehicle is in motion.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes
will still function with the engine off,
but far more pressure will be required
to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible and
seek qualified assistance.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any other obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brakes intermittently, to
dry the brakes.
STEEP SLOPES
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery
slope, it may begin to slide even with the
brakes applied. This is because without wheel
rotation, the ABS cannot determine vehicle
movement.
To counteract this, briefly release the brakes to
allow some wheel rotation. Then re-apply the
brakes to allow ABS to gain control.
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, the EBA
system will automatically boost the braking
force to its maximum, in order to bring the
vehicle to a halt as quickly as possible. If the
driver applies the brakes slowly, but driving
conditions mean that the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) operates on the front wheels, the
EBA system will increase the braking force in
order to apply ABS control to the rear wheels.
The EBA system stops operating as soon as the
brake pedal is released.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
amber brake warning lamp illuminating and an
associated warning message. See 44, BRAKE
(AMBER). Gently and safely stop the vehicle
and seek qualified assistance.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
The EBD system controls the balance of
braking forces supplied to the front and rear
wheels, in order to maintain maximum braking
efficiency.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example), The EBD system will
reduce the braking force applied to the rear
wheels. If the vehicle is heavily laden, The EBD
system will allow greater braking force to the
rear wheels.
A fault with the EBD system is indicated by the
red brake warning lamp illuminating and an
associated warning message. See 43, BRAKE
(RED). Gently and safely stop the vehicle and
seek qualified assistance.
