ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
This ABS system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle
control under adverse braking conditions. The system
controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel
lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces
during braking. For more information aboutABS, refer to
“Anti-Lock Brake System” under “Brake System” in
Section 5 of this manual.
NOTE: ABS improves steering control of the vehicle
during hard braking maneuvers.
WARNING!
•
ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that af-
forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded.
•
The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro-
planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver
can prevent accidents.
•
The capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety
or the safety of others.
