2–22 STARTING AND OPERATING
CAUTION
Driving too fast, particularly in cor-
ners, aquaplaning and driving too
close to the vehicle in front in-
creases the risk of an accident. This
risk can not be reduced by the ABS
system.
Braking with ABS
Don't pump the brakes. Press the brake pedal
hard down regardless of the road surface
(dry, wet, slippery, etc.), hold it down and
let ABS work for you.
The ABS modulates the braking pressure to
the respective wheels to maintain the maxi-
mum braking effect on the vehicle, reducing
the loss of directional stability or steering
control.
Slight vibration accompanied by noise usu-
ally occurs while ABS is operating. Such
vibration and noise simply indicates that the
ABS is functioning normally.
In an emergency, apply full force on the
brake and clutch pedal simultaneously.
The anti-lock brake system will be activated
immediately, thus allowing you to retain full
steering control of your vehicle.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself
with this braking technique. However, avoid
taking unnecessary risks.
WARNING
Stopping distances can vary greatly
depending on the road surface and
conditions.
• Maintain safe distance to the ve-
hicle in front.
• Drive slowly on wet or slippery
road.
WARNING
ABS cannot prevent accidents result-
ing from careless or dangerous driv-
ing techniques.
• Drive carefully.
• Slow down when cornering.
• Press brake pedal hard and hold.
