Note:   Occasional brake noise is normal.If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out.Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, have it checked by an authorized dealer.
Note:   Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal driving conditions.Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise.
 Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.Shift the transmission to park (P), switch the engine off and apply the parking brake.Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interference. If none are found and the condition persists, have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you brake rapidly by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal, and can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by keeping the brakes from locking.
Antilock Braking System Warning Lamp  This lamp momentarily illuminates when you switch the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up, remains on or flashes, the system may be disabled. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brake system is disabled, normal braking is still effective.
See   Warning Lamps and Indicators. 
Note:   Indicators vary depending on region.
Brake System Indicator  Brake System Warning Lamp  If the lamp remains illuminated after you release the parking brake, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
It also illuminates momentarily when you switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on, or begins to flash at any time, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Diesel Engine Exhaust Braking (If Equipped)
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use tow/haul when the road surface is slippery. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use diesel engine exhaust braking when the road surface is slippery. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle.

This feature increases engine braking at higher engine speeds to provide better grade descent control with less brake and transmission wear and tear.
Note:   Use this when driving downhill and carrying heavy loads or trailering.
Benefits of engine braking are:
  • Lower brake temperature.
  • Reduced brake fade.
  • Longer brake life.
  • Improved driving and trailering control.
Exhaust Gas Brake  Press the button on the switch bank next to the audio unit to switch the system on or off.
There are two engine brake modes, manual and automatic.
Manual Engine Braking
  1. Press the button to switch on manual engine braking.
  1. Release the accelerator pedal to maximize engine braking.
  1. Apply the brakes. The transmission downshifts to lower gears.
Note:   The engine braking feature only functions when you release the accelerator.
Note:   You can shift the transmission to lower gears with progressive range selection (PRS) or manual shifting independent of pressing the brakes.
Note:   You can also use manual engine braking with cruise control to improve grade descent control.
Note:   If your vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control, the speed control system uses the selected engine brake mode, transmission gears, and brakes to maintain the set speed and distance to the vehicle being followed.
Automatic Engine Braking
  1. Press the button twice to switch on automatic engine braking.
  1. Release the accelerator or brake pedal. The system remembers your vehicle speed.
Note:   This feature offers smoother, less aggressive engine braking during downhill descents. It may not apply braking if the vehicle speed is not increasing, although it will apply full engine braking force when needed to prevent acceleration. The system automatically activates the engine brake and, if necessary, downshifts the transmission to lower gears to not exceed your vehicle's set speed when the brake or accelerator were last released.
Warning Lamp Conditions
  • Illuminates when this feature is switched on and the system is operating properly.   See   Warning Lamps and Indicators. 
  • Flashes when the engine brake is disabled due to a fault or the engine does not meet the required braking conditions.
  • Does not illuminate when the switch or indicator is faulty.
You can switch the system on at anytime. The system becomes active once the braking conditions are met.
Braking Conditions
  • Your vehicle is in a forward gear.
  • The engine speed is above about 1500 RPM.
  • Your foot is off the accelerator.
You can use this feature with tow/haul or progressive range selection to provide further increased engine braking. The transmission automatically upshifts to prevent the engine from entering the red zone on the tachometer.  See   Automatic Transmission.
