WARNING:
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(ESP)willnotpreventaccidents
due to improper or dangerous driv-
ingmaneuvers.Eventhoughvehicle
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
roadconditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system(ElectronicStabilityProgram
System)maybelongerthanforthose
without it in the following road con-
ditions.Duringtheseconditionsthe
vehicleshouldbedrivenatreduced
speeds.
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, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
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.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
theroadway,donotsteersharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
o Neverexceedpostedspeedlimits.
o Excessive depressing of the ac-
celerator pedal in slippery driv-
ing conditions such as pulling
out of deep snow or mud may
cause severe damage to the
transaxle. Rocking the vehicle is
not recommended. Rather, use
an appropriate towing method.
