Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Brake pads

Brake pads require a period of bedding in when 
new. Drive with extra caution for the first 800 
km (500 miles) to avoid then need for heavy 
braking.

Wet conditions

Driving through heavy rain or water can have 
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under 
those circumstances it is recommended that 
you lightly apply the brakes intermittently to 
dry the brakes.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS

ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows 
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum 
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents 
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver 
to retain steering control during heavy braking 
under most road conditions.

During emergency braking conditions ABS 
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel. 
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual 
wheels, according to the grip available. The 
constant alteration of brake pressure can be 
felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake 
pedal. This is not a cause for concern, as it is 
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS 
is operating.

ABS warning indicator

If this amber warning indicator 
illuminates, drive with extra 
caution, avoid heavy braking where 

possible, and seek qualified assistance as soon 
as possible.

WARNINGS

Do not rest your foot on the brake 
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion. 
This may cause a light application of 

the brakes, which can result in overheating, 
reduced brake performance, and excessive 
brake wear.

Never allow the vehicle to coast 
(freewheel) with the engine turned off. 
The engine must be running to provide 

full braking assistance. The brakes will still 
function with the engine off, but far more 
pressure will be required to operate them.

If the red brake warning indicator 
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to 
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek 

qualified assistance before proceeding.

Never place non-approved floor 
matting or any other obstructions 
under the brake pedal. This restricts 

pedal travel and braking efficiency.

WARNINGS

ABS cannot overcome the physical 
limitations of braking distance. Nor 
can it overcome the lack of grip on a 

road surface, aquaplaning on water for 
example.

Braking distance is increased on a 
slippery surface. This applies to all 
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.

The driver should not be tempted to 
take risks when driving, in the hope 
that ABS will correct errors of 

judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's 
responsibility to drive with due care and 
attention, paying particular attention to the 
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

ABS and off-road driving

ABS will operate when driving off-road, 
however it may be unwise to rely on it's 
assistance under some conditions.

Stopping distances will be increased when 
travelling over rough, or bumpy terrain.

Soft surfaces

On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery 
snow, sand, or gravel, the braking distance 
required will be increased. This is because the 
natural action of a locked wheel (which cannot 
happen when ABS is operating) is to form a 
wedge of surface material in front of the wheel, 
which reduces the stopping distance.

Steep slopes

If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery 
slope, it may begin to slide even with the 
brakes applied. This is because without wheel 
rotation the ABS cannot determine vehicle 
movement.

To counteract this, briefly release the brakes to 
allow some wheel rotation. Then re-apply the 
brakes to allow ABS to gain control.

Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)

If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA 
automatically boosts the braking force to it's 
maximum in order to bring the vehicle to a halt 
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the 
brakes slowly, but conditions mean that ABS 
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase 
the braking force in order to apply ABS control 
to the rear wheels.

EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal 
is released.

A fault with the EBA system is 
indicated by the red brake warning 
indicator illuminating.

Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)

EBD controls the balance of braking forces 
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order 
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.

If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in 
the vehicle for example) the EBD will reduce the 
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the 
vehicle is heavily laden then EBD will increase 
the braking force to the rear wheels.

A fault with the EBD system is 
indicated by the red brake warning 
indicator illuminating.

PARKING BRAKE

Parking on a slope

Facing uphill

If the vehicle is parked facing uphill, select first 
gear (manual gearbox), or Park (automatic 
gearbox), and turn the steering wheel so that 
the front wheels face away from the kerb.

Facing downhill

If the vehicle is parked facing downhill, select 
reverse gear (manual gearbox), or Park 
(automatic gearbox), and turn the steering 
wheel so that the front wheels face towards the 
kerb.

Applying the parking brake

Note: The front seat armrest may obstruct the 
operation of the parking brake for some 
drivers. If this is the case, lift the seat armrest 
before applying the parking brake.

1. Firmly apply the foot brake.

2. Pull the parking brake lever upwards until 

the parking brake is applied.

When the parking brake is applied 
the warning indicator will 
illuminate.

Note: Do not press the parking brake release 
button when applying the parking brake.

Releasing the parking brake

1. Firmly apply the foot brake.

2. Press the parking brake lever release 

button.

3. With the button pressed, lower the parking 

brake lever to its lowest position.

When the parking brake is released 
the warning indicator will 
extinguish.

WARNING

Ensure that the parking brake is 
applied fully before releasing the 
parking brake lever.
