mechanical noise may be heard during this test. This is normal. If a

malfunction is found, the ABS 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 an authorized dealer.

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.

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 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 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.

ABS warning lamp

The ABS warning lamp in the

instrument cluster momentarily

illuminates when the ignition is

turned on. 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.)
