WARNING

Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will cause an over-

heated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of

brakes and/or fire, resulting in serious injury or death.
When traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the

brakes may cause the brake system to overheat and result in brake failure.
