ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-

tem)

The ABS system prevents the lock-up of

wheels which may occur during sudden

braking or braking on slippery road surfac-

es. This helps prevent the loss of steering

control and directional stability caused by

wheel lock-up.

When the ABS system is operating, you

may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight

vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal

when the ABS operates.

The ABS system will not operate when the

vehicle speed is below approximately 6

mph (10 km/h).

 ABS system self-check

You may feel a slight shock in the brake

pedal and hear the operating sound of

ABS from the engine compartment just af-

ter the vehicle is started. This is caused by

an automatic functional test of the ABS

system being carried out and does not in-

dicate any abnormal condition.

 ABS warning light

The ABS warning light comes on when the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-

tion and goes out after approximately two

seconds.

This is an indication that the ABS system

is working properly.

Always use the utmost care in driv-

ing – overconfidence because you

are driving with an ABS equipped

vehicle could easily lead to a seri-

ous accident.

y The ABS system does not always

decrease stopping distance. You

should always maintain a safe fol-

lowing distance from other vehi-

cles.

y When driving on badly surfaced

roads, gravel roads, icy road, or

over deep newly fallen snow,

stopping distances may be longer

for a vehicle with the ABS system

than one without. When driving

under these conditions, therefore,

reduce your speed and leave am-

ple distance from other vehicles.

y When you feel the ABS system

operating, you should maintain

constant brake pedal pressure.

Do not pump the brake pedal

since doing so may defeat the op-

eration of the ABS system.

If the warning light behaves as fol-

lows, the ABS system may not be

working properly.

When the warning light is on, the

ABS function shuts down; however,

the conventional brake system con-

tinues to operate normally.
