Anti-lock braking system
5-82 Features and controls
5
This helps maintain vehicle drivability and
steering wheel handling.
When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden
braking), steering is slightly different
from normal driving conditions. Use the
steering wheel carefully.
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-
cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance
when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system is
not restricted situations where brakes are
applied suddenly. This system may also
prevent the wheels from locking when
you drive over manholes, steel roadwork
plates, road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the anti-lock braking system is in
use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-
ing and hear a unique sound. It may also
feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.

Warning light
Warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
anti-lock braking system warning light will
come on and the warning display will appear
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
Under normal conditions, the anti-lock brak-
ing system warning light only comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in ON
and goes off a few seconds later.
Driving hints
CAUTION
The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent
accidents. It is your responsibility to take
safety precautions and to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking
system, be sure all four wheels and tires are
the same size and the same type.
NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the engine
compartment when driving immediately
after starting the engine. These are the nor-
mal sounds the anti-lock braking system
makes when performing a self-check. It does
not indicate a malfunction.
The anti-lock braking system can be used
after the vehicle has reached a speed over
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops
working when the vehicle slows below
3 mph (5 km/h).
