Two important rules
when braking in
emergencies with
ABS:
2. Steer around
the obstacle. No
matter how hard
you brake,
steering control
is maintained.
1.
Apply full force
on both brake
and clutch pedals
(if equipped).

Operation of the anti-lock
braking system
The ABS operates by detecting the
onset of wheel lock up during brake
applications and compensating for
this tendency. The wheels are
prevented from locking even when
the brakes are firmly applied.
Braking
with ABS
In an emergency, apply full
force on the brake. The ABS will
be activated immediately, allowing
you to retain full steering control of
your vehicle and, providing there is
sufficient space, will help you to
avoid obstacles and bring the
vehicle to a stop.
We recommend that you
familiarize yourself with this
braking technique. However, avoid
taking any unnecessary risks.
