Brake system - EBD, STC
Severe strain on the brake
system
The brakes will be subject to severe strain
when driving in mountains or hilly areas or
towing. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which
means that the cooling of the brakes is less
efficient than when driving on level roads. To
reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a
lower gear and let the engine help with the
braking. Do not forget that, if you are towing a
trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater
than normal load.
