Brakes
R
BrakesPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first 800
km (500 miles) to avoi d then need for heavy
braking.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
those circumstances it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brak es intermittently to
dry the brakes.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braki ng System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
During emergency brak ing conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensat ion through the brake
pedal. This is not a cause for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates, driv e with extra
caution, avoid heavy braking where
possible, and seek qualified assistance as soon
as possible.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can re sult in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes will still
function with the engine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of brak ing distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface, aquaplaning on water for
example.
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, paying partic ular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

L
ABS and off-road driving
ABS will operate when driving off-road,
however it may be unw ise to rely on it's
assistance under some conditions.
Stopping distances will be increased when
travelling over rough, or bumpy terrain.
Soft surfaces
On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery
snow, sand, or gravel, the braking distance
required will be increased. This is because the
natural action of a lock ed wheel (which cannot
happen when ABS is operating) is to form a
wedge of surface material in front of the wheel,
which reduces the stopping distance.
Steep slopes
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery
slope, it may begin to slide even with the
brakes applied. This is because without wheel
rotation the ABS cannot determine vehicle
movement.
To counteract this, briefl y release the brakes to
allow some wheel rota tion. Then re-apply the
brakes to allow ABS to gain control.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA
automatically boosts the braking force to it's
maximum in order to bring the vehicle to a halt
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the
brakes slowly, but condi tions mean that ABS
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase
the braking force in order to apply ABS control
to the rear wheels.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
A fault with the EBA system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
EBD controls the balanc e of braking forces
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example) the EBD will reduce the
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the
vehicle is heavily laden then EBD will increase
the braking force to the rear wheels.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
PARKING BRAKE
Parking on a slope
Facing uphill
If the vehicle is parked facing uphill, select first
gear (manual gearbox), or Park (automatic
gearbox), and turn the steering wheel so that
the front wheels face away from the kerb.
Facing downhill
If the vehicle is parked facing downhill, select
reverse gear (manual gearbox), or Park
(automatic gearbox), and turn the steering
wheel so that the front wheels face towards the
kerb.

Fuel and refuelling
144
L
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0 .8 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle will
need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order
to reset the engine management and
monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
FUEL CUT-OFF
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fitted
to your vehicle. Following an impact, and
depending on the severity, the fuel pump may
be switched off.
Resetting the fuel cut-off
1. Switch the ignition off and wait for one
minute.
2. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thor oughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle if a leak is
present. Seek qualifi ed advice, and have
the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, at the rear.
1. Ensure that the vehicle is fully unlocked,
and pull the fuel filler flap open.
2. Twist the cap anti-clockwise to undo.
• Ensure that you re ad, understand, and
fully comply with all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed to
the inside of the fuel filler flap.
3. Use the retaining clip to keep the filler cap
out of the way whilst fuelling.
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can
cause damage to the vehicle's engine,
fuel, and emission control systems.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off s hould never be reset
if you can smell fuel , or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire which
may cause personal injury or death.
WARNINGS
Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
allow the pressure to release before
fully removing the cap to avoid fuel
spillage due to rapid expansion.
