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.
WARN ING!
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 hydro-
plan ing. Only a safe, atten tive, and skillfu l driver
can preven t accid ents.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brak es will diminish their
effectiven ess 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 .
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.
