Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
So the vehicle remains stable and
can still be steered.
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving manoeuvres. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always main-
tain a safe distance between you
and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
6 46
When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
When driving with tyre chains
installed
When driving on roads where the
road surface is pitted or has dif-
ferent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehi-
cle.
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS repeat-
edly modulates the hydraulic brake
pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a "tik-tik''
sound from the brakes, or feel a
corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum
benefit from your ABS in an emer-
gency situation, do not attempt to
modulate your brake pressure and
do not try to pump your brakes.
Press your brake pedal as hard as
possible to allow the ABS to control
the force being delivered to the
brakes.
