warning light will come on. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or

shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the vehicle should be

inspected by a qualified service technician.

The ABS operates by detecting the

onset of wheel lockup during brake

applications and compensates for

this tendency. The wheels are

prevented from locking even when

the brakes are firmly applied. The

accompanying illustration depicts

the advantage of an ABS equipped

vehicle (on bottom) to a non-ABS

equipped vehicle (on top) during hard braking with loss of front braking

traction.

The

ABS

warning lamp in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is turned to the RUN position. If the light does not

illuminate momentarily at start up, remains on or continues to flash, the

ABS needs to be serviced.

With the ABS light on, the anti-lock

brake system is disabled and normal

braking is still effective unless the

brake warning light also remains

illuminated with parking brake

released. (If your brake warning lamp illuminates, have your vehicle

serviced immediately.)

Using ABS

• In an emergency or when maximum efficiency from the four-wheel

ABS is required, apply continuous force on the brake. The four wheel

ABS will be activated immediately, thus allowing you to retain full

steering control of your vehicle and, providing there is sufficient

space, will enable you to avoid obstacles and bring the vehicle to a

controlled stop.

• The anti-lock system does not decrease the time necessary to apply

the brakes or always reduce stopping distance. Always leave enough

room between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to stop.

• We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking

technique. However, avoid taking any unnecessary risks.
