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 required for the vacuum booster to operate is not created, and as a result, the force required to apply to the brake pedal to brake the vehicle increases sharply.
In addition, when the key is removed, the steering shaft is blocked by the anti-theft device and the car becomes uncontrollable.
If one of the brake system circuits fails, the second circuit provides the vehicle's braking. In this case, the brake pedal travel increases and the braking efficiency decreases, which at first may be assessed by you as a complete brake failure. In this case, do not release the pedal and do not press it multiple times, which only increases the braking distance, but press the pedal until you get the maximum possible braking effect.
When stopping on an uphill or downhill slope, apply the parking brake and, accordingly, first or reverse gear.
To prevent the brake shoes from freezing to the drums after driving on a wet road with sudden temperature fluctuations, do not leave the car in an open area with the parking brake applied, without drying the brakes by braking smoothly when moving to the parking lot.
