STARTING AND DRIVING
291
CAUTION
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push
on the pedal uses up your brake fluid pressure reserve.
Even if the power assist is completely lost, the brakes will
still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard – much
harder than normal. And your braking distance will be
longer.
Anti–lock brake system
The anti–lock brake system is designed to automatically
help prevent lock–up of the wheels during a sudden brake
or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in
providing directional stability and steering performance
of the vehicle under these circumstances.
The anti–lock brake system becomes operative after the
vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately
10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle
decelerates to a speed below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
You may hear a sound in the engine compartment for a few
seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle is
started. This means that the anti–lock brake system is in the
self–check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction.
Effective way to press the ABS brake pedal: When the
anti–lock brake system function is in action, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise. In this situation, to let
the anti–lock brake system work for you, just hold the brake
pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the brake. This will
result in reduced braking performance.
The brake pedal pulsation caused by the anti–lock brake
system may indicate hazardous road surface conditions.
Although the anti–lock brake system assists in providing
vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care,
because the anti–lock brake system cannot overcome the laws
of physics that act on your vehicle:
Braking capability is dependent on tire friction with the
road surface.
Even though the anti–lock brake system is operating, a
driver cannot maintain full control on certain slippery road
surfaces, when cornering at high speeds, or in violent
maneuvers.
