Brake system warning light
The Brake system warning light
remains illuminated when the
handbrake is engaged.
If it illuminates after
releasing the handbrake or
when driving, have the braking
system checked by an expert
immediately.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS operates only when the
wheels are about to lock. Its
operation is indicated by a pulsing
of the brake pedal and full steering
control is retained. Do not release
the pedal whilst braking.
Although the ABS ensures
optimum braking efficiency,
stopping distances can vary
greatly depending on the road
surface and conditions. Use of the
ABS cannot eliminate the dangers
inherent in driving too close to
the vehicle in front of you,
aquaplaning, excessive cornering
speed or poor road surfaces.
