OPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you willnotice a softer feel to the brakepedal. Press the brake pedal firmlyand allow for increased stoppingdistances. Stop and have thischecked immediately. Do notcontinue your journey.
Your vehicle is fitted with a diagonallysplit, dual circuit brake system. If abrake circuit fails, the other remainsoperational.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reducedbraking efficiency. Dab the brakepedal when driving from a car washto remove the film of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive withdue care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain fullsteering and directional stability whenyou brake heavily in an emergency,by preventing the road wheels fromlocking. The ABS monitors the speedof each road wheel and varies thepressure to each brake. The ABSoptimizes the tyre-to-road adhesionwhen you brake heavily.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ABS
When the ABS is operating, the brakepedal will pulse. This is normal.Maintain pressure on the brakepedal.
