Brakes

Antilock Brake

System (ABS)

Wheels may lock causing a skid
during sudden braking or when
braking on a snowy or otherwise
slippery road. The ABS prevents the
wheels from locking during braking
by sensing a skid and thus helps
maintain directional and control
stability of the vehicle. However,
even with the ABS, it is the driver s
responsibility to drive safely.
Warning
The braking distance on slippery
road surfaces is longer than that
on a normal dry paved road even
with an ABS-equipped vehicle. In
addition the braking distance can
be slightly longer in deep snow
and on a gravel road when ABS
is activated. Therefore, always
keep in mind the road condition

Driving and Operating

and tire condition (type of tires
and worn condition), observe safe
driving habits and drive the
vehicle while keeping a proper
distance between vehicles.
ABS does not prevent accidents if
you do not drive safely. Drive the
vehicle at a safe speed.
Install tires of the specified size,
same brand and same tread
design (including winter tires) on
all wheels. If different tires are
installed, the braking distance
becomes longer and directional
control stability of the vehicle
decreases. This is very
dangerous.
Steering during sudden braking
(when the ABS is working) will
feel slightly different than it does
when the brakes are not applied.
Operate the steering wheel
carefully keeping this in mind.
