Anti–lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at the moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti–lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
D
Driving on rough, gravel or snow–
covered roads.
D
Driving with tire chains installed.
D
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
D
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti–lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels' turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed,
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.

functions, the light comes on.

When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the

system, the vehicle skid control system
and/or active traction control system do/
does not operate, but the brake system

anti–lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the parts monitored by the
warning light system. Contact
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
