Applying the Brakes
[GF01500(ALL)01/96]
Your vehicle is equipped with a power front
disc/rear drum brake system that adjusts
automatically as the brake pads and linings
wear.
[GF01700(ALL)01/96]
If power assist is lost you can still stop your
vehicle by applying greater force to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The stopping
distance, however, is longer.
[GF01800(ALL)01/96]
When the engine is not running or has stalled,
the power assist is interrupted. The reserve
brake power is partially depleted each time the
brake pedal is applied and released. Do not
pump the brake pedal when the power assist
has been interrupted, unless it is necessary to
maintain steering control on slippery surfaces.
*
[GF02000(ALL)01/96]
Apply the brake pedal gradually. Use the
ªsqueezeº technique Ð push on the brake pedal
with a steadily increasing force. This allows the
wheels to continue to roll while you are slowing
down, which lets you steer properly.
[GF02100(ALL)01/96]
Extreme braking can make the wheels lock and
slide, causing you to lose control of the steering.
If you lock the wheels, release the brake pedal
and repeat the ªsqueezeº technique.
*
[GF02200(ALL)01/96]
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake
pedal; you will wear out the linings and increase
your vehicle's stopping distance. Brake rotor
damage may also eventually occur.
