The anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up when
braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivabil-
ity and steering wheel handling.
 When using the ABS (sudden braking),
steering is slightly different from normal
driving conditions. Use the steering wheel
carefully.
 Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-
cle is equipped with the ABS, leave a
greater braking distance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
 Operation of ABS is not restricted to situ-
ations 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 vibrating and hear a unique
sound. You 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.
CAUTION
 The brake assist system is not a device
designed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
 The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully
depressed even if it has not been depressed
suddenly.
 When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel as if the depressed
brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small
motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.
 You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate a
malfunction and the brake assist system is
operating normally.
 When the anti-lock brake system warning
light or only active stability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system in
not functioning.

NOTE
CAUTION
 The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take safety precautions and
to drive carefully.
 To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure all 4
wheels and tires are the same size and the
same type.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS
may stop functioning properly.
