Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, caused by braking on slippery roads, and maintains driving directional stability and ensures steerability.
-
When depressing the brake pedal, slight vibration might be felt from the pedal. This vibration is a normal occurrence when the ABS operates.
-
ABS does not operate at low speeds (about 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or slower).
Warning and Cautions for Using the Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Do not rely on the ABS as a substitute for safe driving.
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), driving on ice and snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
Always use tires of the specified size and type for the front and rear wheels. If a tire other than the specified size or type is installed, the ABS system may not operate normally.
