Abs Warning Lamp; Using Abs; Parking Brake With Auto-Release; To Set The Parking Brake - Lincoln 1998 Mark VIII Owner's Manual

Driving

ABS warning lamp

The warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates for about
ABS
five seconds when starting the vehicle. If an ABS fault is detected, the
light will remain on and your vehicle should be serviced as soon as
possible.
Normal braking is still effective
unless the BRAKE warning lamp is
also illuminated.

Using ABS

• In an emergency or when maximum efficiency from the ABS is
required, apply continuous full force on the brake. The ABS will be
activated immediately, thus allowing you to retain full steering control
of your vehicle and, providing there is sufficient space, will enable you
to avoid obstacles and bring the vehicle to a controlled stop.
• We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking
technique. However, avoid taking any unnecessary risks.

Parking brake with auto-release

Apply the parking brake whenever
the vehicle is parked.

To set the parking brake:

1. Move the gearshifter to P (Park).
2. Push pedal downward.
