WARNING:
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up
during sudden braking or on hazard-
ous road surfaces. The ABS control
module monitors the wheel speed and
controls the pressure applied to each
brake. Thus, in emergency situations
or on slick roads, ABS will increase
vehicle control during braking.
ABS will not prevent accidents due
to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
systemmaybelongerthanforthose
without it in the following road con-
ditions.

WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Donotmakequicksteeringwheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted
personissignificantlymorelikely
to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadwayandthedriveroversteers
to reenter the roadway.
NOTE:
During ABS operation, a slight pul-
sationmaybefeltinthebrakepedal
when the brakes are applied. Also,
a noise may be heard in the engine
compartment while braking. These
conditions are normal and indicate
that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.
o In the event your vehicle leaves

Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.

its.
