Brakes Overheated
Drive on, but with
even greater care.
The brake system is overheated due to an
excessive load on the brakes.
Relieve the load on the brake system:
X
Drive more smoothly and think ahead to avoid
unnecessary braking.
X
When driving down steep grades, shift into a
lower gear to use the engine’s braking power
(Y page 120).
X
Cautiously continue driving so that the air
stream will cool down the brakes.
