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.
o  Always use  the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transaxle
in "P" to keep the car from moving.
