Warning Lights
ABS
Warning Light Function
The warning lamp informs the driver of
the system condition and to transmit
blink codes for system and diagnostic
information.
If the warning lamp fails to go out when
the vehicle is driven off, or if it comes
on shortly after drive off, this is an
indication that the ABS system is either
disabled or partially disabled due to a
fault. If the system is disabled the driver
still has full use of the conventional
braking system. When the warning
lamp lights up this indicates increased
danger of wheel lock-up. The driver
should exercise caution when braking
to avoid loss of control due to wheel
skid.
The warning lamp is switched on (bulb
check) after "ignition on". If a wheel
speed sensor fault was not stored in
the fault memory before the last
"ignition off", the warning lamp will be
switched off about 2 seconds after
"ignition on", provided the static system
test was successfully completed. The
warning lamp the remains switched off
when the dynamic system test has
successfully concluded
If a wheel speed sensor fault was
stored before the last "ignition off", the
warning lamp remains on until the
static and dynamic system test has
successfully been completed - a stored
fault.
• The driver is responsible for
taking note of the warning
lamp. If the warning lamp fails
to light up immediately after
"ignition on" this indicates that
the lamp bulb is defective. It
MUST be replaced without
delay.
• When a fault occurs, it is
essential that the ABS is
checked immediately in
authorised workshop in order to
repair the fault and return the
system to normal operation.
Failure to do so may result in
unforeseen consequences.
Safety Instruction
While the ABS increases the vehicle
safety, it is not able to overcome natural
physical laws. ABS can only optimise
the utilisation of the available traction
between the tyres and the road. ABS is
not able to compensate for poor
driving, to avoid the consequences of
driving too close to the vehicle in front,
and/or driving into a bend with
excessive speed.
