Handling of ABS equipped vehicles

What is ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System)
ABS stands for Anti lock Brake System
(Anti-lock Brake System). ABS is a
device that attempts to ensure running
stability and steering performance by
automatically preventing the locking of
the tire when the brake is applied.

 Always check the surrounding
conditions and try safe driving. There is
a limit to control by ABS.
 ABS can not work when the tire grip
ability is exceeded or a hydroplaning
phenomenon (*) occurs. It is the
phenomenon that a vehicle losses
ground contact force because of a water
film which is generated between the tire
and the road surface due to high speed
running in the rain.

About braking distance

ABS does not shorten the braking
distance.
 The braking distance when applying
sudden braking or applying a brake on a
slippery road is equivalent to a car
without ABS.
 In the following situations, the braking
distance may be longer than for a car
without ABS. Please make the speed a
little and keep the distance between the
cars adequate.
Road rough roads such as uneven roads
and stones
· Giant road, Shinkansen
· When overcoming steps such as road
joints
· When passing over a steel plate such as
a manhole
