WARNING!

(Continued)

Always fully apply the parking brake when leav-

ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or
injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in
PARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll
and cause damage or injury.

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 func-

tion. However, there will be some loss of overall braking

effectiveness. You may notice increased pedal travel

during application, greater pedal force required to slow

or stop, and potential activation of the “Brake System

Warning Light.”
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,

repeated brake applications with the engine off) the

brakes will still function. However, the effort required to

brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required

with the power system operating.
