Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though ve‐
hicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and ob‐
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (or Electronic Stability Con‐
trol) may be longer than for those
without it in the following road con‐
ditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• With tire chains installed.
• On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface
height.
