1. ABS
Indicator Light 1.1.
The ABS indicator light in the meter position. This light will comes on when the ignition
switch is turned on and goes off shortly after the vehicle starts moving at speed 6km/hr. min.
It stays off.
If something is wrong with the ABS, the indicator comes on and remains it. When the
indicator light is on
the ABS doesn’t function but if the ABS fails, the conventional brake
system will still work normally.
Introduction 1.2.
ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when the brakes are applied
hard while running straight. The ABS automatically regulates brake force.
Intermittently gaining gripping force and braking force helps prevent wheel lock-up and
allows stable steering control while stopping.
Brake control function is identical to that of conventional vehicle .The brake lever is used for
the front brake and rear brake.
Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, remember
the following characteristics:
˙
ABS cannot compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgment or improper
application of brakes. You must take the same care as with vehicle not equipped with
ABS.
˙
ABS isn’t designed to shorten the braking distance. On loose, uneven or downhill
surfaces, the stopping distance of a vehicle with ABS may be longer than that of an
equivalent vehicle without ABS. Use special caution in such areas.
