uuBraking uBrake System
Driving
You can release the parking  brake automatically when:
• You are wearing the driver’s seat belt.
• The engine is running.
• The transmission is not in 
(P or (N.
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum power assist 
helps to reduce the effort needed on th e brake pedal. The brake assist system 
increases the stopping force when you  depress the brake pedal hard in an 
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering 
control when brak ing very hard.

■Foot Brake
1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water, 
or if there is a buildup of  road surface water. If 
necessary, dry the brakes by  lightly depressing the 
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when 
applying the brakes, this is  caused by the brake wear 
indicator rubbing on the  brake rotor and indicates 
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the 
vehicle checked by a deal er. If you hear only an 
occasional squeak or squeal  when you initially apply 
the brake pedal, this may be normal and caused by 
high frequency vibr ation of the brake pads against 
the rotating brake disc.
Constantly using the brak e pedal while going down a 
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake 
effectiveness. Apply engine  braking by taking your 
foot off the accelerator pe dal and downshifting to a 
lower speed position.
Do not rest your foot  on the brake pedal while 
driving, as it will lightly  apply the brakes and cause 
them to lose effectiveness  over time and reduce pad 
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.
