Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of

time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) or adjust the heating

or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.

BRAKES

Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding

or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out

and should be inspected by a qualified service technician. If the vehicle

has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,

the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified service technician.

Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This

system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by

keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the ABS pump motor and

brake pedal pulsation may be observed during ABS braking; any

pulsations or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.

ABS warning lamp

ABS

The

ABS

lamp in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates when

the ignition is turned to ON. If the light does not illuminate during start

up, remains on or flashes, the ABS may be disabled and the ABS may

need to be serviced.

Even when the ABS is disabled,

normal braking is still effective. (If

your BRAKE warning lamp

illuminates with the parking brake

released, have your brake system serviced immediately.)

Using ABS

When hard braking is required, apply continuous force on the brake

pedal; do not pump the brake pedal since this will reduce the

effectiveness of the ABS and will increase your vehicle’s stopping

distance. The ABS will be activated immediately, allowing you to retain

full steering control during hard braking and on slippery surfaces.

However, the ABS does not decrease stopping distance.
