Brake Assist (if equipped)
The Brake Assist system provides full braking force during panic braking
situations. It detects a rapid application of the brake pedal and
maximizes the amount of brake booster assist, helping the driver to
achieve maximum braking pressure. Once a panic brake application is
detected, the system will remain activated as long as the brake pedal is
depressed. The system is deactivated by releasing the brake pedal.
When the system activates, the brake pedal will travel with very little
effort; this is normal.
ABS warning lamp
The ABS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster momentarily
illuminates when the ignition is
turned to the ON position. If the
light does not illuminate
momentarily at start up, remains on or continues to flash, the ABS needs
to be serviced.
With the ABS light on, the anti-lock
brake system is disabled and normal
braking is still effective unless the
brake warning light also remains
illuminated with parking brake
released. (If your brake warning lamp illuminates, have your vehicle
serviced immediately.)
Parking brake
Apply the parking brake whenever
the vehicle is parked. To set the
parking brake, press the parking
brake pedal down until the pedal
stops.

REAR PARK ASSIST
The Rear Park Assist sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near
the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is
moving at speeds less than 5 km/h (3 mph). The system is not effective
at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the
limitations of the Rear Park Assist system as contained in this
section. The Rear Park Assist is only an aid for some (generally large
and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at ªparking
speedsº. Inclement weather may also affect the function of the system;
this may include reduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in
reverse and when using the system.
This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or
moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or
surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal
detection zone of the Rear Park Assist system may create false beeps.
