288 STARTING AND OPERATING If the Anti-Lock Brake Light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the Brake System Warning Light is not on. If the Anti-Lock Brake Light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the Anti-Lock Brake Light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the light repaired as soon as possible. If both the Brake System Warning Light and the AntiLock Brake Light remain on, the ABS and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not functioning. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically "pumps" the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up. WARNING! • Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer. Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop. (Continued)
