This light on the
instrument panel will
come on briefly when
you start your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
your anti-lock brake system will check itself. You may
hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while this test
is going on, and you may even notice that your brake
pedal moves a little. This is normal. If there's a problem
with the anti-lock brake system, the anti-lock brake
system warning light will stay on.
See "Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light" in the
Index.
Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet.
You're driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in
front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one
of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the
rear wheels.
