8.3 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The chassis is equipped with a anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS reduces
the possibility of wheel lock-up during hard braking. If a wheel is about to lock during
braking, ABS will automatically adjust air pressure to the brake chambers on the
appropriate wheel(s) to prevent wheel lock-up. The ABS is automatically turned on
when the ignition switch is turned on.
Important Safety Reminders
• ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle, it only
helps with steering control during braking. Always maintain a safe following
distance from other vehicles.
• ABS will not prevent a skid that results from changing direction abruptly, such as
trying to take a corner too fast. Always drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather condition.
• ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability. Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel movement can still cause vehicle to veer
off the road.
WARNING
Do NOT rely on an anti-lock brake system that is functioning improperly. Loss of
vehicle control could result in death or serious injury. If ABS lamp illuminates
while driving or remains illuminated after power-on test, anti-lock system may not
be working. The ABS may not function in an emergency. The vehicle will operate
with conventional brakes, but not anti-lock brakes, have the ABS system
inspected immediately.
