Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
E00607101147
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps prevent
the wheels from locking during braking. This helps
maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel han-
dling.
Driving hints
l
Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle
in front of you. Even if your vehicle is equip-
ped with ABS, leave a greater braking dis-
tance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l
Operation of ABS is not restricted to situa-
tions where brakes are applied suddenly.
This system may also prevent the wheels
from locking when you drive over manholes,
steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any
uneven road surface.
l
When the ABS is activated, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of
the vehicle body and steering wheel. It may
also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake ped-
al down firmly. Do not pump the brake,
which will result in reduced braking per-
formance.
l
An operation noise is emitted from the en-
gine compartment or you can feel a shock
from the brake pedal when starting to drive
immediately after starting the engine. These
are normal sounds or operations that the
ABS makes when performing a self-check. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
l
The ABS can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle
slows below 5 km/h (3 mph).
