Brake functions
Brakes
Anti-lock brakes
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS2), which helps prevent
the wheels from locking and helps maintain
steering control when braking. Vibrations may
be felt from the brake pedal when ABS is
operating, which is normal.
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce
speed or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking
brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a
number of automatic brake assist functions.
These systems provide assistance by e.g. the
driver not needing to depress the brake pedal
at a traffic light, when starting up a hill or
when driving down a hill.
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's
regular brakes, which are part of the brake
system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake cir-
cuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the
brake pedal will go down further when
depressed. More pressure will then be
required from the driver for normal braking
effect.
After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the
ABS system is automatically performed when
the driver releases the brake pedal. An addi-
tional automatic test of the system may be
performed when the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed. During the test, the brake pedal
may feel as though it is pulsating.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped,
the following brake assist functions may be
included:
The driver's pressure on the brake pedal is
enhanced by a power braking function.
Auto-hold brake function at a standstill
(Auto Hold)
•
WARNING
Power braking only functions if the engine
is running.
Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
Braking assist after a collision
City Safety
•
•
•
•
If the brake pedal is used when the engine is
turned off, the pedal will feel stiffer than usual
and greater pressure must be applied to brake
the vehicle.
Hill Descent Control (Hill Descent
Control)*
Related information
In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy
load, engine braking in manual gear should be
used to augment the brakes. Engine braking is
most effective if the same gear is used both
uphill and downhill. Use the Off Road* drive
mode to increase the engine braking effect
when driving on steep downgrades at low
speeds.
