BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Driving your vehicle

with the warning lamp on is dangerous.
A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It may take you
longer to stop your vehicle. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause brake
failure and the risk of personal injury.

Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when leaving a car wash or
driving from standing water to dry the
brakes.

Note:

Depending on applicable laws and

regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the stoplamps
could flash during heavy braking. Following
this the hazard warning flashers could also
turn on when your vehicle comes to a stop.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

The anti-lock braking system does not
eliminate the risk of crash when:
•

You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.

•

Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

•

You take corners too fast.

•

The road surface is poor.

Note:

If the system activates, the brake

pedal could pulse and travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.

BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR

In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Move the transmission to park (P),
switch the engine off and apply the parking
brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer.

BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR

Brakes

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID

WARNING:

Do not use any fluid

other than the recommended brake fluid
as this will reduce brake efficiency. Use
of incorrect fluid could result in the loss
of vehicle control, serious personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Only use brake fluid

from a sealed container. Contamination
with dirt, water, petroleum products or
other materials may result in brake
system damage or failure. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in the
loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not allow the fluid

to touch your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your physician.

WARNING:

The brake system

could be affected if the brake fluid level
is below the

MIN

mark or above the

MAX

mark on the brake fluid reservoir.

E170684

Park your vehicle on a level surface.

2. Look at the brake fluid reservoir to see

where the brake fluid level is relative
to the

MIN

and the

MAX

marks on the

reservoir.

Note:

To avoid fluid contamination, the

reservoir cap must remain in place and fully
tight, unless you are adding fluid.

Only use fluid that meets our
specifications. See

Capacities and

authorized dealer.

BRAKES – FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Is it normal for my brakes to make
noise?

Occasional brake noise is normal. If a
metal-to-metal, continuous grinding,
or continuous squeal sound is present,
the brake lining could be worn-out.
Have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

There is an electrical motor sound
when I press on the brake pedal or
activate the park brake switch. Is this
normal?

Yes, those sounds are the electronic
brake booster or the electronic park
brake operating.

Note:

Brake dust could accumulate on the

wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is normal as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise. See

WHAT IS REVERSE BRAKING
ASSIST

The system uses sensors on the rear of
your vehicle to detect a possible collision
and applies the brakes to either reduce the
damage from impact, or to assist in
avoiding the collision.

HOW DOES REVERSE
BRAKING ASSIST WORK

Reverse Braking Assist functions when in
reverse (R) and traveling at a speed of
1–7 mph (1.5–12 km/h).

If the system detects an obstacle behind
your vehicle, it provides a warning through
the rear parking aid or cross traffic alert
system.

REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.

WARNING:

Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.

WARNING:

Some situations and

objects prevent hazard detection. For
example low or direct sunlight, inclement
weather, unconventional vehicle types,
and pedestrians. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with accessories that extend beyond the
front or rear of your vehicle, for example
a trailer hitch or bike rack. The system is
not able to make corrections for the
additional length of the accessories.

The system only applies the brakes for a
short period of time when an event occurs.
Act as soon as you notice the brakes apply
in order to remain in control of the vehicle.
If you do not intervene the vehicle may
start to move again.

Note:

Certain add-on devices around the

bumper or fascia may create false alerts.
For example, large trailer hitches, bicycle or
surfboard racks, license plate brackets,
bumper covers or any other device that may
block the normal detection zone of the
system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.

Note:

The system does not react to small

or moving objects, particularly those close
to the ground.

Note:

The system does not operate during

hard acceleration or steering.

292

Reverse Braking Assist

(If Equipped)

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper or fascia leaving it misaligned
or bent, it could alter the sensing zone
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

Vehicle loading and suspension

changes can impact the angle of the sensors
and may change the normal detection zone
of the system resulting in inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

When you connect a trailer, the

system may detect the trailer and provide
an alert, or the system turns off. If the
system does not turn off, switch the system
off manually after you connect the trailer.

Note:

You may experience reduced system

performance on road surfaces that limit
deceleration. For example, roads with ice,
loose gravel, mud or sand.
