Four Wheel Anti-lock Brake System
Your vehicle is equ ipped with a Four Wheel Anti-lock Braking
System (4WABS). The 4WABS help s the driver to maintain
vehicle control by preventing wheel locku p during hard
braking.
The 4WABS operates with a com puter that is able to optim ize
vehicle control during braking on varying tire and road
cond itions by mod ulating the brake pressu re at each of the front
wheels and the rear axle. This “p umping action” is sim ilar to
the driver “p umping” the brakes bu t hap pens at a much faster
rate.
