Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will

cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition

could cause sudden loss of brakes and/or fire, resulting in

serious injury or death.
When traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes.

Riding the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat and

result in brake failure.
