3–20 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)*
The anti-lock brake system is an ad-
vanced electronic braking system that
will help prevent skidding and loss of
control of your vehicle. The system al-
lows you to steer around obstacles while
braking hard, and provides maximum
stopping ability on slippery pavement.
When the ignition is turned on, the
“ABS” warning lamp will glow for
about 3 seconds. If the light does not go
out, or if it comes on while driving,
there is something wrong with the ABS.
Consult your authorized repairer imme-
diately. See “ABS WARNING LAMP”
in the index.
ABS works by sensing the speed of each
wheel during braking. If one of the
wheels is about to stop rolling, the com-
puter will work the brakes separately at
each front wheel and at the rear wheels.
A slight vibration in the brake pedal,
accompanied by some noise, usually
takes place while the ABS is working.
Winter parking tip
Under cold weather conditions, the
parking brake can freeze in the en-
gaged position. This is most likely to
happen if the brakes are wet.
If there is a risk that parking brake may
freeze after driving through water deep
enough to wet brake components or hav-
ing the vehicle washed:
1. Apply the parking brake only tem-
porarily while you put the gear se-
lector lever in “P” (for automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(for manual transaxle).
2. Block the rear wheels with wedge
blocks.
3. Then release the parking brake.

WARNING
• Do not use parking brake while
the vehicle is in motion, or as a
substitute for the brake pedal.
Doing so may cause you to lose con-
trol of the vehicle, resulting in a col-
lision, property damage and per-
sonal injury.
