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 an automatic trans-
mission in PARK, a manual transmission in RE-
VERSE or first gear. Failure to do so may cause the
vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.

CAUTION!

If the Brake System Warning Light remains on with
the parking brake released, a brake system malfunc-
tion 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.
