"Abs" Warning Light - Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Operating Manual

"
Avoid high speeds on wet roads. The
anti- lock brake system cannot elimi-
nate the risk of hydroplaning and loss
of tire friction.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Compared with
vehicles not fitted with an anti- lock brake
system, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases:
"
Driving on rough, gravel or snow- cov-
ered roads.
"
Driving with tire chains installed.
"
Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences
in surface height.
CAUTION
Do not use tires other than
manufacturer's designated tires, and
do not mix tires or wheels of differ-
ent sizes. You may prevent the anti-
lock brake system from operating at
full effectiveness.
Vehicles with rear differential lock sys-
tem The anti- lock brake system does not
operate when the rear differential
locked. It is normal operation for the
"ABS" warning light to be on at this time.

"ABS" WARNING LIGHT

This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position. After a few
seconds, the light will go off. There may
be the case that the "ABS" warning light
the stays on for about 60 seconds after the
engine is started. It is normal if the light
goes out after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the light. It is normal if it
goes off after a few seconds.
When the light is on with the rear differen-
tial locked, it indicates the anti- lock brake
system will not operate.

scribed above, or remains on.

the rear differential unlocked.
"

The system comes into operation with
the rear differential locked.
Even if the anti-lock brake system should
fail, the brake system will still operate
conventionally. However, when the "ABS"
warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti- lock brake
system is not assisting brake performance
so that the wheels can lock- up during
sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surface. Have your vehicle checked
by your Toyota dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
