Water on brake discs and brake pads

affects braking

Driving in rain and slush or passing through an

automatic car wash can cause water to collect

on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a

delay in braking effect when the pedal is

depressed. To avoid such a delay when the

brakes are needed, depress the pedal occa-

sionally when driving through rain, slush, etc.

This will remove the water from the brakes.

Check that brake application feels normal. This

should also be done after washing or starting

in very damp or cold weather.

Severe strain on the brake system

The brakes will be subject to severe strain

when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or

when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually

slower, which means that the cooling of the

brakes is less efficient than when driving on

level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes,

shift into a lower gear and let the engine help

with the braking. Do not forget that if you are

towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to

a greater than normal load.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to

improve vehicle control (stopping and steering)

during severe braking conditions by limiting

brake lockup. When the system "senses"

impending lockup, braking pressure is auto-

matically modulated in order to help prevent

lockup that could lead to a skid.

The system performs a brief self-diagnostic

test when the engine has been started and

driver releases the brake pedal. Another auto-

matic test may be performed when the vehicle

first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several

times and a sound may be audible from the

ABS control module, which is normal.

Cleaning the brake discs

Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs

may result in delayed brake function. This delay

is minimized by cleaning the brake linings.

Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet

weather, prior to long-term parking, and after

the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak-

ing gently for a short period while the vehicle is

moving.

Emergency Brake Assistance

EBA is designed to provide full brake effect

immediately in the event of sudden, hard brak-

ing. The system is activated by the speed with

which the brake pedal is depressed.

When the EBA system is activated, the brake

pedal will go down and pressure in the brake

system immediately increases to the maximum

level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal

in order to utilize the system completely. EBA

is automatically deactivated when the brake

pedal is released.

NOTE

•

When the EBA system is activated, the

brake pedal will go down and pressure

in the brake system immediately increa-

ses to the maximum level. You must

maintain full pressure on the brake

pedal in order to utilize the system com-

pletely. There will be no braking effect if

the pedal is released. EBA is automati-

cally deactivated when the brake pedal

is released.

•

When the vehicle has been parked for

some time, the brake pedal may sink

more than usual when the engine is

started. This is normal and the pedal will

return to its usual position when it is

released.
