stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of
the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding con-
ditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel

To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition.
The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The
ABS warning lamp goes out after starting off.
