GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of

your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention.

Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If

a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or

continuous squeal sound is present, the

brake linings may be worn-out. If the vehicle

has continuous vibration or shudder in the

steering wheel while braking, have your

vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the

wheels, even under normal driving

conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the

brakes wear. See Cleaning the Alloy

Wheels (page 207).

Wet brakes result in reduced braking

efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a

few times when driving from a car wash or

standing water to dry the brakes.

Emergency Brake Assist

Emergency brake assist detects when you

brake heavily by measuring the rate at

which you press the brake pedal. It

provides maximum braking efficiency as

long as you press the pedal. Emergency

brake assist can reduce stopping distances

in critical situations.

Anti-lock Brake System

This system helps you maintain steering

control and vehicle stability during

emergency stops by keeping the brakes

from locking.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Note: When the system is operating, the

brake pedal will pulse and may travel

further. Maintain pressure on the brake

pedal. You may also hear a noise from the

system. This is normal.

The anti-lock braking system will not

eliminate the risks when:

• you drive too closely to the vehicle in

front of you

• your vehicle is hydroplaning

• you take corners too fast

• the road surface is poor.

PARKING BRAKE
