Page: 250 / 602

• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences
in surface height.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-
denly. This system may also prevent the
wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road sur-
face.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi-
brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal re-
sists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the
brake pedal down firmly. Do not
pump the brake, which will result in
reduced braking performance.
l
An operation noise may be emitted from
the engine compartment in the following
situations. The sound is associated with
checking the operations of the ABS. At
this time, you may feel a shock from the
brake pedal if you depress it. These do
not indicate a malfunction.
• When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while
after the engine is turned on.
l The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over approximately
10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating
when the vehicle slows below 5 km/h
(3 mph).
CAUTION
l The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take safety precautions and
to drive carefully.
l To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure all
four wheels and tyres are the same size and
the same type.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS
may stop functioning properly.
