Owner's Manual

Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in
spurts
--
heavy acceleration followed
by
heavy
braking
--
rather than keeping pace with traffic.
This
is
a
.mistake.
Your
brakes may not have time to cool
between hard
stops.
Your brakes
will
wear out much
faster if you
do
a lot of heavy braking.
If
you keep
pace
with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,
you will eliminate
a
lot
of
unnecessary braking. That
means better braking and
longer
brake life.
If
your engine ever
stops
while
you're
driving, brake
normally but don't pump your brakes.
If
you
do, the
pedal
may
get harder
to
push
down.
If
your
engine
stops,
you
will still have
some
power brake assist.
But
you will use
it
when
you
brake. Once the power assist
used
up,
it
may
take
longer
to
stop
and
the brake pedal
will
be
harder to
gush.
