EBD WARNING LIGHT* ABS WARNING LIGHT*
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, this
warning light comes on and goes out if the
system is normal. When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”,
this warning light comes on and goes out if
the system is normal.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)?
When braking suddenly or braking on slippery roads, the
vehicle keeps moving forward but the wheels are locking
and not rotating. If these happen, your vehicle may lose
stability or rotate resulting in an accident. ABS helps to
maintain directional stability and control of the vehicle.
When the engine starts and the vehicle starts to move, ABS per-
forms self diagnosis by transferring hydraulic pressure to the brak-
ing units. This may cause some noise and vibrations. This means
ABS is properly functioning.
CAUTION
If the EBD warning light stays on, have the system checked at the
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
CAUTION
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)?
When the brake pedal is applied, it controls the braking
pressure electronically to effectively distribute the braking
forces to the front wheels and rear wheels. EBD operates
when the speed differences between the most fast front
wheel and the rear wheel are over 1 km/h. If ABS is engaged,
it does not operate.
• If this light doesn’t come on when the ignition is switched on or
if this light doesn’t go out, contact your nearest Ssangyong Dealer
or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center. If this light illuminates
while driving, a malfunction of ABS is indicated.
• ABS is a device that prevents wheels from locking during brak-
ing to allow steering. However, the ABS system does not shorten
the stopping distance.
• Even though your vehicle is equipped with ABS, your vehicle
may need normal braking distances like conventional brake ve-
hicles or could be longer according to road conditions, so keep
the safety distance.
