CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti
−
lock
brake system: Although the anti
−
lock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti
−
lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the anti
−
lock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Anti
−
lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at a moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti
−
lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
D
Driving on rough, gravel or snow
−
covered roads.
D
Driving with tire chains installed.
D
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
D
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti
−
lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed,
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.
