few seconds when you turn the
ignition ON (II), and when the
ignition switch is turned to START
(III). If this light comes on at any
other time, there is a problem in the
ABS. If this happens, stop the car in
a safe place and turn off the engine.
Reset the system by restarting the
engine.

go off, or comes back on again while
driving, take the car to your dealer to
