STARTINGANDOPERATING
If either of the two hyd rau lic system s lose norm al capa-
bility, the rem aining system will still function with som e
loss of overall braking effectiveness. This will be evid ent
by increased pedal travel during application and greater
pedal force requ ired to slow or stop . In addition, if the
malfunction is caused by an internal leak, as the brake
fluid in the master cylind er drop s, the brake warning
ind icator will light.
During stop s where ABS is activated , a vibration of the
brake pedal may be felt and associated system noises
may be heard .
NOTE:
Pumping of the brake pedal will diminish the
effectiveness of Anti-lock brakes and may lead to an
accident. Pumping makes the stop ping distance longer.
Just press firm ly on you r brake pedal when you need to
slow down or stop .
Anti-LockBrakeSystem(ABS)—IfEquipped
The ABS gives increased vehicle stability and brake
perform ance und er most braking cond itions. The system
autom atically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking
cond itions to prevent wheel lock up.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the sam e size and
tires must be prop erly inflated to prod uce accurate
signals for the computer. However, the system will
compensate when the compact spare is in use.
