Braking
1. Use the parking brake when parking your
vehicle and shift the gear shift lever into
the first gear or reverse gear position for
the sake of safety.
72F-08-012
Don't use handbraking unless
unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to
skid and a rear end collision occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
Use foot brake in three stages
(1) Warn the vehicle behind you
(2) Gradually apply the brake.
(3) Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3. When driving on a downhill, try not to apply
the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the footbrake may
result in total brake failure.

Avoid reckless high speed driving and try
to drive at a safe speed suitable for the
road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed. 5.

The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver's visual range becomes. In such a
state, it is difficult to anticipate any hazard
and the driver feels much fatigued.
Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your car.
When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample car-to-car distance.
