Honda CR-V: Braking System
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking very hard.
Resting your foot on the pedal keeps the brakes applied lightly, builds up heat, reduces their effectiveness and reduces brake pad life. In addition, fuel economy can be reduced. It also keeps your brake lights on all the time, confusing drivers behind you.
Constant application of the brakes when going down a long hill builds up heat and reduces their effectiveness.
Use the engine to assist the brakes by taking your foot off the accelerator and downshifting to a lower gear.
Check your brakes after driving through deep water. Apply the brakes moderately to see if they feel normal. If not, apply them gently and frequently until they do. Be extra cautious and alert in your driving.

the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the vehicle (the left-front brake is

models have audible brake wear

locking up, and helps you retain
steering control by pumping the
brakes rapidly, much faster than a
person can do it.
