SAFETY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS is designed to aid the driver in maintaining
vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The
system operates with a separate computer to modulate
hydraulic pressure, to prevent wheel lock-up and to help
avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
The system's pump motor runs during an ABS stop to
provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor
makes a low humming noise during operation, which is
normal.
The ABS includes an yellow ABS Warning Light. When
the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The
system reverts to standard non-ABS. Placing the igni-
tion in the OFF mode and to the ON mode again may
reset the ABS if the fault detected was only momentary.
WARNING!
•
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip-
ment that may be susceptible to interference
caused by improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interference can
cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability.
Installation of such equipment should be per-
formed by qualified professionals.

WARNING!
•
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their
effectiveness and may lead to a collision. Pumping
makes the stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow
down or stop.
•
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.
•
The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.
•
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
When you are in a severe braking condition involving
the use of the ABS, you will experience some pedal
drop as the vehicle comes to a stop. This is the result of
the system reverting to the base brake system.
Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied by a puls-
ing sensation. You may also hear a clicking noise.
These occurrences are normal and indicate that the
system is functioning properly.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM
(RBS) — BEV (IF EQUIPPED)
The RBS replenishes the vehicle's high voltage battery
during deceleration, and is particularly useful in stop-
and-go city traffic. The electric motors that propel the
vehicle forward can operate as generators when brak-
ing. The RBS recharges the high voltage battery under
certain braking conditions by recapturing energy that
would otherwise be lost while braking. The electric
power that is generated goes back into the high voltage
battery for later use, for example, when acceleration is
desired.
The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination to slow the
vehicle. If the system detects slippery conditions while
braking, ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle. The
RBS can result in extended life of the hydraulic service
brakes; however, all inspection, scheduled mainte-
nance, and service intervals for the vehicle brakes must
be followed.
AUDIBLE PEDESTRIAN WARNING
SYSTEM — BEV (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Audible Pedestrian
Warning system. The Audible Pedestrian Warning sys-
tem uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that your
vehicle is approaching. In addition, the module will indi-
cate changes in vehicle speed by varying the relative
volume.
