self-check cycle to ensure that the ABS is
working properly. This self-check occurs each
time the vehicle is started and accelerated past
6 mph (10 km/h).
ABS is activated during braking under certain
road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing con-
ditions can include ice, snow, gravel, bumps,
railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
You also may experience the following when the
brake system goes into anti-lock:
•
The ABS motor running (it may continue to
run for a short time after the stop).
•
The clicking sound of solenoid valves.
•
Brake pedal pulsations.
•
A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at
the end of the stop.
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
WARNING!
•
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to in-
terference caused by improperly installed
or high output radio transmitting equip-
ment. This interference can cause possible
loss of anti-lock braking capability. Instal-
lation of such equipment should be per-
formed by qualified professionals.
•
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will di-
minish their effectiveness and may lead to
a collision. Pumping makes the stopping
distance longer. Just press firmly on your
brake pedal when you need to slow down
or stop.
•
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase braking or steering effi-
ciency beyond that afforded by the condi-
tion of the vehicle brakes and tires or the
traction afforded.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
The ABS cannot prevent collisions, includ-
ing those resulting from excessive speed
in turns, following another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.
•
The capabilities of an ABS equipped ve-
hicle must never be exploited in a reckless
or dangerous manner that could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same
size and type and tires must be properly inflated
to produce accurate signals for the computer.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The “Anti-Lock Brake Warning
Light” monitors the anti-lock brake
system. The light will come on
when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position and may stay on
for as long as four seconds.
