TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 295
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems.
If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capa-
bility, the remaining system will still function. However,
there will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. You
may notice increased pedal travel during application, greater
pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential activation
of the “Brake System Warning Light”.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e., repeated
brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still
function. However, the effort required to brake the vehicle
will be much greater than that required with the power
system operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly calibrated
torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex) deep wall
socket.

bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening. Lug Nut/Bolt Torque

296 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.Wheel Mounting Surface
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each nut/
bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the socket is fully
engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway). Torque Patterns
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/bolt torque to be
sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are properly seated against
the wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in personal injury.
