Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, 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.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
[ When descending down a long or
steep hill, use the paddle shifter
and manually downshift to a
lower gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. 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 fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
BRAKING SYSTEM
Driving Your Vehicle6-52
Idle Stop and Go helps reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting
down the engine, when the vehicle is
at a standstill (for example, red stop
light, stop sign, and traffic jam) subject
to certain prerequisite conditions being
satisfied as listed below.
The engine is automatically started upon
satisfying the starting conditions.
ISG system is always active, when the
engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically started
by ISG system, warning lights (for
example, ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, MDPS,
and parking brake warning light) may
illuminate for a few seconds due to low
battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a
malfunction with ISG system.
ISG System Operation
Prerequisite for activation
ISG system operates in the following
situations.
[ The driver's seatbelt is fastened
[ The driver's door and hood are closed
[ The brake vacuum pressure is
adequate
[ The battery sensor is activated and
the battery is sufficiently charged
[ Outside temperature is not too low or
too high
[ The vehicle is driven over a constant
speed and stops
[ The climate control system satisfies
the conditions [
The vehicle is sufficiently warmed up
[ ISG related parts are working properly
[ The incline is gradual
[ The steering wheel is turned less than
180 degrees and then the vehicle
stops
Information
ISG system is not activated, when the
prerequisites to activate the ISG system
are unsatisfied.
Auto stop
When ISG is on the engine will be
stopped automatically when both of the
following occurs:
1. Vehicle speed decreases to 0 mph
(0 km/h) full stop condition.
2. Brake pedal is depressed and gear is in D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
The Auto Stop (
) indicator illuminates
in green on the instrument cluster, when
the engine stops.
Information
Idle stop cannot reoccur again until the
vehicle speed goes above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and then returns again to the automatic
stop conditions as previously mentioned.
