Warning! Do not turn off the ignition or remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving! When the engine is not running, the vacuum necessary for the operation of the vacuum booster is not created, and as a result, the force that must be applied to the brake pedal to brake the car increases sharply.
In addition, when the key is removed, the steering shaft is blocked by an anti-theft device, and the car becomes uncontrollable.
In the event of failure of one of the circuits of the brake system, the braking of the car is provided by the second circuit. In this case, the brake pedal travel increases and the braking efficiency decreases, which at the first moment can be assessed by you as a complete brake failure. In this case, do not release the pedal and do not apply repeated pressures, which only increase the braking distance, but press the pedal until the maximum possible braking effect is obtained.
When stopping on an uphill or downhill, apply the parking brake and, accordingly, the first or reverse gears.
To prevent brake pads from freezing to the drums after driving on wet roads with sudden temperature fluctuations, do not leave the car in an open area with the parking brake applied without drying the brakes by gently braking when driving to the parking lot.
