ABS – driving hints
The ABS operates automatically without need for
any manual control. However, you are requested to
read the following instructions and precautions to
ensure safe driving with your ABS-equipped vehi-
cle.
NOTE:
When driving on slippery surfaces, activating the
brakes could lock the wheels and the vehicle is very
likely to lose directional control due to resulting
skids. The ABS minimizes such wheel locking by
electronically controlling the braking force of each
wheel.
•
On slippery surfaces, the braking distance for
vehicles with an ABS is generally shorter than
that for vehicles without it. This difference, how-
ever, varies with road surface conditions. It is
always important to maintain sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead regardless of whether
your vehicle is equipped with an ABS or not.
Also, the braking distance of an ABS-equipped
vehicle on gravel or heavily snow-covered roads
may be longer than that for a vehicle without an
ABS. On these roads, therefore, be sure to drive
at reduced speeds. Also, avoid sudden maneu-
vering or braking on such roads to prevent colli-
sion with the vehicle behind you.
•
Driving on icy roads or quickly braking from a
high speed causes the ABS to work hard and in
turn consume much air. If the
warning lamp
illuminates and a buzzer sounds in such a situa-
tion, stop the vehicle in a safe place and wait
until normal air pressure is recovered before
continuing driving.
•
Slight vibration will be felt on the vehicle body
and brake pedal when the ABS is in operation.
Also, the sound of air discharging will be heard
intermittently. These indicate the ABS is operat-
ing normally and do not indicate any abnormal
condition. Keep fully depressing the brake
pedal.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING
Even the ABS cannot remove limitations on
the vehicle’s running and braking perfor-
mance. It is your responsibility to judge road
and other conditions properly and drive
safely on slippery surfaces.
