STARTING & DRIVING
come into operation. This will be recognisable by a rapid
pulsation felt through the brake pedal.
Braking in an Emergency
DO NOT pump the brake pedal at any time;
this will interrupt the operation of ABS and
may increase the braking distance.
If an emergency situation occurs, the driver should apply
full braking effort even when the road surface is slippery.
ABS will ensure that the wheels do not lock and that the
car is brought to a halt in the shortest possible distance for
the prevailing road surface conditions.
Note: On soft surfaces such as powdery snow, sand
or gravel, the braking distance produced by the ABS
system may be greater than that for a non-ABS system,
even improved steering would be experienced. This is
because the natural action of locked wheels on soft
surfaces is to build up a wedge of material in front of
(or to the side of, if steering) the tyre contact patch.
This effect assists the car to stop when braking or to
change direction when steering.
No matter how hard you brake, you are still able to
continue steering the vehicle as normal.
IMPORTANT
ABS can not reliably make up for the driver's
mis-operation or lack of experience.
ABS Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Refer to "Warning Lights and Indicators" in "Instruments
and Controls" section.
Note: The normal (non-ABS) braking system remains
fully operational and is not affected by partial or
full loss of ABS. However, the braking distances may
increase.
