Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) ABS Indicator ABS INDICATOR Important Safety Reminders ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle; it only helps with steering control during braking. You should always maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles. ABS will not prevent a skid that results from changing direction abruptly, such as trying to take a corner too fast or making a sudden lane change. Always drive at a safe, prudent speed for the road and weather conditions. ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability. Always steer moderately when you are braking hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel movement can still cause your vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic or off the road. A vehicle with ABS may require a longer distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces, such as gravel or snow, than a vehicle without antilock. Slow down and allow a greater distance between vehicles under those conditions. U.S. indicator shown The ABS is self-checking each time the vehicle is started and moved. The ABS indicator will come on if anything goes wrong. If the ABS indicator comes on, the brakes still work like a conventional system, but without anti-lock. You should have a dealer inspect your vehicle as soon as possible. Driving 149
