Power brakes
Yo u r v e h i c l e h a s p o w e r - a s s i s t e d
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is
turned off whilst driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
Yo u c a n s t i l l s t o p y o u r v e h i c l e b y
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than typical. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Ta k e t h e f o l l o w i n g p r e c a u t i o n s :
•Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
•When descending down a
long or steep hill, move the
shift lever to Manual Shift
mode and manually downshift
to a lower gear in order to
control your speed without
using the brake pedal exces-
sively. Applying the brakes
continuously will cause the
brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.

•Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes whilst maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.

Chain Installation
When installing tyre chains, follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
mount them as tightly as possible.
Drive slowly (less than 30 km/h) with
chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chas-
sis, stop and tighten them. If they still
make contact, slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the tyre chains
as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park
the vehicle on level ground away
from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning Flasher and place a
triangular emergency warning device
behind the vehicle (if available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing snow
chains.
When using tyre chains:
•Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-
pension, body and wheels.
•Use SAE "S" class or wire
chains.
•If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
•To prevent body damage,
retighten the chains after driving
0.5~1.0 km.
•Do not use tyre chains on vehi-
cles equipped with aluminium
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
•Use wire chains less than 15 mm
wide to prevent damage to the
chain's connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s d e l i v e r e d w i t h h i g h
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.

The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant concentration level at least
once a year, at the beginning of the
winter season, and before travelling
to a colder climate.
•When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may
cause cracks in the engine. To
prevent damage, add engine
coolant slowly in small quanti-
ties.
•Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the engine coolant
level
NOTICE
Removing radiator
cap
•Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap whilst the engine
is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage
and could result in serious
personal injury from escaping
hot coolant or steam.
•Tu r n t h e e n g i n e o f f a n d w a i t
until it cools down. Use
extreme care when removing
the radiator cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
anticlockwise slowly to the
first stop. Step back whilst the
pressure is released from the
cooling system.
