If your brakes fail, it is an emergency situation that requires quick and decisive actions. Follow these procedures:

  • Shift to a lower gear to decrease the speed of the vehicle.
  • Pump the brake pedal in an attempt to restore pressure to the brake system. If pressure is restored, stop pumping.
  • If this technique does not restore your brakes, use the parking brake to aid in slowing and stopping the vehicle. Be careful; applying the parking brake too abruptly may lock the rear wheels and put the vehicle in a skid. To prevent this, use your thumb on the release button, or pull the brake release as you alternately apply and release pressure using the parking brake.
  • If necessary, steer towards something soft (sand or pea gravel) or into a clear area off the roadway.
  • If a collision is unavoidable, steer to sideswipe rather than colliding head-on; this will reduce the force of impact force.
