Applying the Brakes
*
[DR24300( ALL)05/95]
Apply the brake pedal gradually. Use the
“squeeze” technique — push on the brake pedal
with a steadily increasing force. This allows the
wheels to continue to roll while you are slowing
down, which lets you steer properly.

RWARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on the
brake pedal. This will increase your
vehicle’s stopping distance and may also
cause brake damage.

[DR24500( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If you are driving down a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear. Do not apply
your brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.

The parking brake pedal is suspended just below

parking brake while parking your vehicle, press
the brake pedal with your right foot and hold it
while you push the parking brake pedal down
firmly and fully with your left foot.
