Driving your vehicle
If at all possible, cease driving the Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(Continued)
The safety features of an ABS
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location or repair
shop.
WARNING
(or
ESC)
equipped
vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering.This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
emergency
improved
during
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control system) may be
longer than for those without it in
the following road conditions.
The ABS continuously senses 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 is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS 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 to control the force being
delivered to the brakes.
During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds:
•
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
•
•
With tire chains installed.
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
