The ABS warning light comes on during
driving.
The light does not come on when the
engine control switch is placed into the
"ON" position or does not go out after a
few seconds. See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 0 53.
Even if a problem has occurred with the
ABS, the regular brakes will still work
normally. However, ABS will not operate.
Precautions for Driving an ABS-Equipped
Vehicle
ABS is not a device that enables driving and
stopping under conditions exceeding safe
driving limits. Always 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. When ABS is
activated in the following road surface
conditions, the braking distance may be
slightly longer compared to that of
vehicles not equipped with an ABS.
Therefore, always be aware of the road
Warning (Continued)
and tire condition (tire type and wear
condition), observe safe driving habits,
and drive the vehicle while keeping a safe
following distance.
Follow the above guidelines especially in
these conditions:
When driving on a gravel road and
deep snow-covered road.
When tire chains are used.
When driving over road joints or
bumps such as light reflectors on
the road.
When driving on a bumpy road,
stone-paved road or track.
When driving over an iron plate or
manhole lid.
ABS does not work for wheel skidding
during a standing start, acceleration and
cornering that does not involve braking.
On a very slippery icy road, tires may
lose their grip and the steering wheel
operation may not be able to control the
vehicle's direction, resulting in very
unstable driving. Always drive the vehicle
(Continued)
Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
observing a safe speed well matched with
both road surface and tire conditions, and
avoid sudden braking if possible.
If powerful engine braking is applied on a
very slippery icy road, the drive wheels
may be locked (the ABS then does not
work), resulting in loss of vehicle control.
ABS operation consumes the brake
system air. When the air pressure drops
and the brake air pressure warning light
and the chime are activated, immediately
stop the vehicle at a safe place and wait
for the required air pressure to be
recovered before resuming driving.
When ABS is activated, slight vibration
and pull to one side may be felt on the
steering wheel, especially when the road
surface condition is different between the
right and left wheels. In addition, an
operating sound is produced from the
ABS actuators. This does not indicate any
abnormal condition. Stay calm and
operate the steering wheel properly.
