Abs Warning Lamp; Using Abs; Parking Brake - Ford 1998 Ranger Owner's Manual

Driving

ABS warning lamp

The warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates for about
ABS
five seconds when starting the vehicle. If an ABS fault is detected, the
light will remain on and your vehicle should be serviced as soon as
possible.
Normal braking is still effective
unless the BRAKE warning lamp is
also illuminated.

Using ABS

In an emergency or when maximum efficiency from the ABS is
required, apply continuous full force on the brake. The ABS will be
activated immediately, thus allowing you to retain full steering control
of your vehicle and, providing there is sufficient space, will enable you
to avoid obstacles and bring the vehicle to a controlled stop.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking
technique. However, avoid taking any unnecessary risks.

Parking brake

Apply the parking brake whenever
the vehicle is parked. To set the
parking brake, press the parking
brake pedal down until the pedal
stops.
The BRAKE warning lamp in the
instrument cluster illuminates and
remains illuminated (when the
ignition is turned ON) until the
parking brake is released.
