Infiniti QX: Parking brake break-in
Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums/rotors are replaced, in order to assure the best braking performance. This procedure is described in the vehicle service manual and can be performed by an INFINITI retailer.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will cause overheating of the brakes, wearing out the brake and pads faster and reduce gas mileage. To help save the brakes and to prevent the brakes from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control.
WARNING
► While driving on a slippery surface, be
careful when braking, accelerating or
downshifting. Abrupt braking or accelerating
could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.
► If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. Braking will be
harder.
