Parking Brake
Warning Light
The warning light turns on when the system
ha
s a malfunction. Refer to “Warning Lights
And Messages” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
Brake Pad Wear Indicator
When the disc brake pads become worn, the
bu
ilt-in wear indicators contact the rotors.
This causes a screeching noise to warn that
the pads should be replaced. When you hear
this noise contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
Brake Assist
During emergency braking situations when it
is
necessary to depress the brake pedal with
greater force, the brake assist system
provides braking assistance, thus enhancing
braking performance. When the brake pedal
is depressed hard or depressed more quickly,
the brakes apply more firmly.
NOTE:
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, the pedal will feel
softer but the brakes will apply more
firmly. This is a normal effect of the brake
assist operation and does not indicate a
malfunction.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, a motor/pump
operation noise may be heard. This is a
normal effect of the brake assist and does
not indicate a malfunction.
The brake assist equipment does not
supersede the functionality of the
vehicle's main braking system.

WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
park brake fully applied. The park brake
should always be applied when the driver
is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the
vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal
partially engaged, as this will cause
abnormal wear on the clutch.
