BRAKING SYSTEM
The hydraulic braking system operates
through dual circuits; if one circuit should fail,
the other will continue to function. However,
in the event of a brake failure where only one
circuit is operational, the vehicle should only
be driven at slow speed to the nearest
qualified dealer. In these circumstances,
exercise extreme caution and be aware that
much greater pedal effort and longer stopping
distances will be required.
The braking system is servo assisted. This
means that if the engine stops running, all
servo assistance will be lost, requiring greater
pedal effort and resulting in longer stopping
distances.
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in. You
should avoid heavy braking, except in
emergencies, for at least the first 800 km (500
miles).
Remember that regular servicing is vital to
ensure that the brake pads are examined for
wear and changed periodically to ensure long
term safety and optimum performance.
Brake warning light
If the warning light on the instrument panel
illuminates while driving, and the handbrake is
fully released, a fault with the braking system
is indicated. Check the brake fluid level; if the
light continues to illuminate, seek qualified
assistance before continuing.
WARNING
DO NOT rest your foot on the brake pedal
while travelling, as this may overheat the
brakes, reduce their efficiency and cause
excessive wear.
NEVER move a vehicle without the engine
running because braking assistance will not
be available. The pedal brakes will still
function, but more pressure will be
required.
ALWAYS take particular care when being
towed with the engine turned off.
If the brake warning light should illuminate
while the vehicle is in motion, bring the
vehicle to a halt as quickly as traffic
conditions and safety permit and seek
qualified assistance before continuing - DO
NOT pump the brake pedal. If the brake
pedal is pumped, the braking system may
lose any remaining assistance available.
Wet conditions
Driving through water or even very heavy rain
may adversely affect braking efficiency.
Always dry the braking surfaces by
intermittent light application of the brakes,
first ensuring that you are at a safe distance
from other road users.
