 Operation of ABS is not restricted situa-
tions where brakes are applied suddenly.
This system may also prevent the wheels
from locking when you drive over man-
holes, steel roadwork plates, road mark-
ings, or any uneven road surface.
 When the ABS is in use, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations
of the vehicle body and steering wheel. It
may also feel as if the pedal resists being
pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.
 An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or feel a shock from
the brake pedal when start driving imme-
diately after starting the engine. These are
normal sound or operation that the ABS
makes when performing a self-check. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
 The ABS can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over approximately 10
km/h. It stops working when the vehicle
slows below approximately 5 km/h.

mode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds
later.
