equipment that may be suscep tib le to interferen ce caused by
improp erly installed or high output rad io tran smittin g equip-
ment. This interferen ce can cause possib le loss of anti-lock
brak ing capability. Installation of such equipment should be
perform ed by qualified profession als.

Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brak es will diminish their effective-
ness and may lead to an accid ent. Pumping makes the stop ping
distan ce lon ger. Just press firm ly on you r brak e pedal when you
need to slow down or stop .
If the ABS light rem ains on or comes on while driving, it
ind icates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system
is not functioning and that service is requ ired . However,
the conventional brake system will continu e to operate
norm ally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
Anti-lock
system (ABS) cannot preven t the natu ral law s of
physics from actin g on the veh icle, nor can it increase brak ing or
steerin g efficien cy beyon d that afford ed by the condition of the
veh icle brak es and tires or the traction afford ed.
The ABS cannot preven t accid ents, including those resu ltin g
from excessive speed in turns, follow ing anoth er veh icle too
closely, or hydrop lan ing. Only a safe, atten tive, and skillfu l
driver can preven t accid ents.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system shou ld be serviced
as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock
brakes. If the ABS light does not come on when the
Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the
bulb rep aired as soon as possible.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped veh icle must never be
exploited in a reck less or dangerou s manner, which could jeop -
ard ize the user’s safety or the safety of oth ers.
