is visible from outside of the vehicle through the
windshield.
Windshield VIN Location
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual
hydraulic brake systems. If either of
th
e two hydraulic systems loses
normal capability, the remaining
system will still function. However, there will
be some loss of overall braking effectiveness.
Th
is will be evident by increased pedal travel
during application and greater pedal force
required to slow or stop the vehicle. In addition,
if the malfunction is caused by a leak in the
hydraulic system, the “Brake Warning Light” will
turn on as the brake fluid level drops in the
master cylinder.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason
(i
.e., repeated brake applications with the
engine off) the brakes will still function.
However, the effort required to brake the
vehicle will be much greater than that required
with the power system operating.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can
result in abnormally high brake tempera-
tures, excessive lining wear, and possible
br
ake damage. You would not have your full
braking capacity in an emergency.
Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance or vehicle
stability during braking may occur. It will
take you longer to stop the vehicle or will
make your vehicle harder to control. You
could have a collision. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.
