Freins

The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part of the brake system.

Le véhicule est équipé de deux circuits de freinage indépendants. Si l'un des circuits de freinage est endommagé, la pédale de frein peut descendre davantage lorsqu'elle est enfoncée. Le conducteur devra alors appliquer une pression plus forte pour obtenir un freinage normal.

La fonction d'assistance au freinage amplifie la pression du conducteur sur la pédale de frein.

If the brake pedal is used when the engine is turned off, the pedal will feel stiffer than usual and greater pressure must be applied to brake the vehicle.

In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy load, engine braking in manual gear should be used to augment the brakes. Engine braking is most effective if the same gear is used both uphill and downhill. Use the Off Road* drive mode to increase the engine braking effect when driving on steep downgrades at low speeds.

Système antiblocage des roues (ABS)

The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS¹), which helps prevent the wheels from locking and helps maintain steering control when braking. Vibrations may be felt from the brake pedal when ABS is operating, which is normal.

After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the ABS system is automatically performed when the driver releases the brake pedal. An additional automatic test of the system may be performed when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. During the test, the brake pedal may feel as though it is pulsating.
