Brake System

All four wheels are equipped with disc brake assemblies. The brake booster reduces the force required on the brake pedal. The Brake Assist System increases braking force when the brake pedal is depressed rapidly in an emergency.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps you maintain control of the vehicle during sudden braking.

For vehicles equipped with the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): When the Brake Assist System is activated, the advanced pretensioners tighten the seat belts.

Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving unless you intend to brake. Otherwise, the brakes may drag, overheat, and lose effectiveness. Fuel consumption may also increase. In addition, constantly illuminated brake lights may mislead drivers following you.

Prolonged braking on long downhill grades causes the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. On downhill grades, it is recommended to use engine braking. Release the accelerator pedal and shift into a lower gear.

After driving through deep water, check the brakes. Apply the brake pedal moderately and check whether the vehicle slows down normally. If the brake system does not function effectively, lightly depress the brake pedal several times to return the brake assemblies to normal operating condition. Use extra caution in this case.
