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.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due
to improper or dangerous driving
manoeuvres. 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.
NOTE:
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
systemmaybelongerthanforthose
without it in the following road con-
ditions. These roads should be
driven at reduced speeds.
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.

On slippery road surfaces, the traction
control system (TCS) limits the drive
wheelsfromspinningexcessively,thus
helping the car to accelerate. It also
provides sufficient driving force and
steering performance as the car turns
at accelerated speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tyre chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning
excessively during starting or whilst
making accelerated turns on slippery
roads to avoid losing the driving force
of the driven wheels.
The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
