The turn-signal lamps flash when the switch is operated (with
the ignition switch “ON”). At the same time, the turn signal
indicator flashes.

when the ignition switch is turned “ON”, it indicates
that the automatic headlamp levelling device is not
functioning.

neutral position when released.

Starting and driving

4 Braking
E00607000888
All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
according to the service booklet.Brake systemThe service brake is divided into two brake circuits so that
when one brake circuit fails, the other is available to stop the
vehicle. In this situation, even if the brake pedal moves down
to the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down
hard; stop driving as soon as possible and have the brake sys-
tem repaired.Power brakesYour vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking
force with less brake pedal effort.
Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the
power assist is not being used.
If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press
the brake pedal is greater.
If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes
will still work.If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic sys-
tems stops working properly, the rest of the brake system will
still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.
You will know this has happened if you find you need to press
the brake down further, or harder when slowing down or stop-
ping, or if the brake warning lamp comes on.
Wa r n i n g l a m pThe brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a fault in the
braking system. Read “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-10.When brakes are wetCheck the brake system while driving at a low speed immedi-
ately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent
normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through large
puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the
brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal.
CAUTION
!●Avoid driving habits that cause heavy braking and
never “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the
brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
WARNING
!●Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the
engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the engine while driving, the power
brake booster will stop working and your brakes
will not work as well.●If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic
system stops working properly, have your vehicle
checked immediately.
