Your vehicle is equipped with dual
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition
al engine braking and stop the vehi
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
