68 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS provides increased vehicle
stability and braking performance un-
der most braking conditions. The sys-
tem automatically modulates brake
pressure during severe braking condi-
tions to prevent wheel lockup.
WARNING!
The ABS cannot prevent accidents, in-
cluding those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another ve-
hicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only
a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which
could jeopardize your safety or the
safety of others.
When the brake system goes into an
antilock stop, you may also experi-
ence the following:
• The ABS motor running (it may con-
tinue to run for a short time after the
stop)
• The clicking sound of the solenoid
valves
NOTE: These are all normal charac-
teristics of ABS.

Utilizing ABS Braking

Firmly pressing the brake pedal in an
emergency stop may start the ABS im-
mediately, which will allow you to
properly control the vehicle.
WARNING!
Pumping of the antilock brakes will di-
minish their effectiveness and may lead
to an accident. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.

ABS Self-Check

When the engine is started, you may
hear a slight clicking sound as well as
some related motor noises. These
noises are the ABS performing its self-
check cycle to ensure that the system
is working properly.
NOTE: If the ABS light comes on while
driving, it indicates that the antilock por-
tion of the brake system is not function-
ing and that service is required.

Power Steering

Power steering is standard equipment
on this vehicle. The power steering
system will give you good vehicle re-
sponse and increased ease of maneu-
verability in tight spaces. The system
will provide mechanical steering capa-
bility if power assist is lost.
If the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your ve-
hicle. Under these conditions, you will
feel a substantial increase in steering
