Driving your vehicle
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(if equipped)
The ABS system  continuously sens-     •  Even with  the anti-lock brake  sys-
es  the  speed of  the  wheels.  If  the
wheels  are going  to  lock,  the  ABS
system   repeatedly   modulates  the
hydraulic   brake   pressure    to   the
wheels.
When you  apply  your brakes  under
conditions    which    may   lock    the
wheels,   you  may   hear   a  “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel  a cor-
responding  sensation  in  the  brake
pedal. This  is  normal and  it  means
your ABS system is active.
tem, your vehicle  still requires suf-
ficient  stopping   distance.  Always
maintain a  safe distance  from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering.
The anti-lock brake  system cannot
prevent  accidents   resulting  from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation  of   the  anti-lock   brake
system may result in a longer stop-

WARNING - ABS  Brakes
Your ABS is not  a substitute for
good   driving   judgement.  You
can  still  have   an  accident.  In
fact, your  ABS  system  will not
be able  to prevent  an accident.
You must especially avoid:
•  Dangerous  driving,   such  as
neglecting safety precautions,
speeding, or driving too  close
to the vehicle in front of you.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit  from   your  ABS  system   in  an
emergency situation,  do not attempt
to modulate your brake pressure and
do  not   try  to   pump  your   brakes.
Press  your brake  pedal as  hard  as
possible or  as hard  as the  situation
warrants and  allow the  ABS system
to control the force being delivered to
the brakes.
equipped    with    a   conventional
brake system.
Driving at high speed in situa-
tions  providing   considerably
less traction, such as wet con-
ditions   where   hydroplaning
could occur.
Driving too  fast on  poor road
surfaces.The ABS is designed
to  improve maximum  braking
effectiveness on  typical high-
ways and  roads in  good con-
dition. On poor road surfaces,
the  ABS may  actually reduce
braking effectiveness.

I think it is good and helpful thanks

The manual and the car is good. Your web site is like your dealers. Intrustive and obnoxious. Keep it simple and butt out of my life.
