CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
ABS is not a device that enables driving and stopping under conditions exceeding safe
driving limits. Always drive safely.
Precautions for Driving an ABS-Equipped Vehicle
CAUTION
The braking distance on slippery road surfaces is longer than that on a normal
•
dry paved road even with an ABS-equipped vehicle. When ABS is activated
in the following road surface conditions, the braking distance may be slightly
longer compared to that of vehicles not equipped with an ABS. Therefore,
always be aware of the road and tyre condition (tyre type and wear condition),
observe safe driving habits and drive the vehicle while keeping a safe following
distance.
When driving on a gravel road, or a road with a deep snow covering.
-
When tyre chains are used.
-
When driving over road joints or bumps such as light reflectors on the road.
-
When driving on a bumpy road, stone-paved road or track.
-
When driving over an iron plate or manhole lid.
-
ABS does not work for wheel skid during a standing start, acceleration and
•
cornering which do not involve braking. On a very slippery icy road, tyres may
lose grip and steering wheel operation may not be able to control the vehicle's
direction, resulting in very unstable driving. Always drive the vehicle observing
a safe speed well matched with both road surface and tyre conditions, and
avoid sudden braking.
If powerful engine braking is applied on a very slippery icy road, the drive
•
wheels may be locked (the ABS then does not work), resulting in loss of vehicle
control. If this happens with a manual transmission vehicle, disengage the
clutch or place the gearshift lever into the "N" position to prevent engine braking
from acting on the drive wheels. Then, drive the vehicle with the gearshift lever
placed in an appropriate gear.
When ABS is activated, a slight vibration (especially when the road surface is
•
different between right and left wheels) and pulling may be felt on the brake
pedal and steering wheel. In addition, an operating sound is produced from the
ABS actuators. This does not indicate any abnormal condition. Stay calm and
operate the steering wheel properly.
