Starting and driving
•
When the ABS starts functioning after sudden
braking, the steering wheel may be pulled
slightly to one side because of braking power
distribution control made by the system. Espe-
cially in a condition where the traction is different
between the right and left wheels (on a road
covered by ice on one side and not on the other
side, for example), you may need to correct
direction with the steering wheel.
•
The ABS cannot prevent the vehicle from over-
turning on a slippery surface that could result
from excessive speed being used in sharp turns.
Avoid driving at too high a speed or in a way
which requires quick operation of the steering
wheel.
•
There is likelihood of skidding due to the effect
of engine braking on slippery surfaces when the
vehicle carries little or no load. In such a situa-
tion, it is recommended to depress the clutch
pedal first and then the brake pedal.
•
If cargo is loaded only on the back half of the
cargo bed, the rear wheel brakes must share an
extremely large burden during braking to pre-
vent the front wheels from locking. On a snow-
covered or otherwise slippery, long downslope,
use engine/exhaust braking and minimize use of
the service brakes.
•
The exhaust brake, if activated, is released tem-
porarily when the ABS comes into function.
•
Before you install a radio transmitter/receiver
equipment or tires of a size different from the
original ones, be sure to consult an authorized
dealer.
•
Even if the ABS system fails and the
warn-
ing lamp illuminates, the normal brakes still work
properly. You must, however, drive very carefully
on slippery roads.
P. 6-13
WARNING
Reduce speed sufficiently before negotiating
a curve. When negotiating a curve with the
exhaust brake applied, if the tires slip due to
the slippery road surface or a step in the
road, the ABS may function, causing the
exhaust brake to be temporarily released,
which may result in a serious accident.
