Driving your vehicle
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while engine is running,
there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) (if
equipped )
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
(Continued)
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following condi-
tions:
•
Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
•
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
•
Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger
the safety of yourself or others.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always main-
tain a safe distance between you
and objects ahead of you. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced
during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with ABS may be longer
than for those without these sys-
tems in the following road condi-
tions.
