CAUTION!

If the “Brake Warning Light” remains on with the
parking brake released, a brake system malfunction
is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic

brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic

systems loses normal capability, the remaining

system will still function. There will be some

loss of overall braking effectiveness. This may be evident

by increased pedal travel during application, greater

pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential

activation of the “Brake Warning Light.”

In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for

example, repeated brake applications with the engine

OFF) the brakes will still function. The effort required to

brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required

with the power system operating.
NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-

mance braking system. The brake pads are a semi-

metallic compound, which offer superior fade resistance

for consistent operation. A compromise to using this type

of brake pad is that the brakes may produce more brake

dust and may squeal slightly under certain weather and

operating conditions (.i.e., during light brake applica-

tions) this is considered normal conditions.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic

brake control system commonly referred to as ESC. This

system includes the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), the

TCS (Traction Control System), the BAS (Brake Assist
