The braking system has two circuits that operate independently of each other.

If one brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit.

However, braking is only achieved by pressing the brake pedal firmly.

Considerably greater force must be applied. The braking distance is longer than usual.

Contact a workshop before continuing your journey.

When the engine is not running, the brake servo assistance disappears after the brake pedal has been pressed once or twice. Braking is not reduced, but it requires much greater force. It is particularly important to keep this in mind when the vehicle is being towed.
