EBP
The EBP enhances braking effectiveness
by allowing the rear brakes to supply a
greater proportion of the braking effort
without a loss of vehicle stability.
Warning! G

v flashing in the speedometer dial, then
proceed as follows:
ț While driving off, apply as little throttle
as possible.

the prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.

ing from excessive speed.
