Brake Assist
GENERAL INFORMATION
Brake assist detects when you brake
heavily by measuring the rate at which you
press the brake pedal. It provides
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 your
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 Wheels
(page 266).
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal. 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: Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
may flash during heavy braking. Following
this the hazard warning flashers may also
flash when your vehicle comes to a stop.
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.
The anti-lock braking system does 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.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal
Note: If the system activates, the brake
pedal may pulse and may travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You
may also hear a noise from the system. This
is normal.
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Shift the transmission to park (P)
(automatic transmission) or to a low gear
(manual transmission), switch the engine
off and apply the parking brake. Inspect
the accelerator pedal and the area around
it for any items or debris that may be
obstructing its movement. If none are
found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the dealer for service.

When the system activates, your vehicle
remains stationary on a slope for a few
seconds after you release the brake pedal.

from the brake to the accelerator pedal.
The brakes release when the engine has
developed sufficient torque to prevent your
vehicle from rolling down the slope. This
is an advantage when pulling away on a
slope, for example from a car park ramp,
traffic lights or when reversing uphill into
a parking space.
