1990 HONDA PRELUDE four wheel drive

ALB (Anti Lock Brakes) help to maintain the road holding and
tractability of your car during severe braking, and under slippery road conditions. The ALB system prevents the wheels from locking(thus reducing the chance of skidding) to ensure controllable
deceleration. When sudden braking might otherwise lock one or more wheels, the ALB system temporarily reduces the braking
pressure to the wheel or wheels about to lock to ensure continued
braking efficiency.
When the ALB is regulating the braking pressure, the brake pedal pulsates slightly to make the driver aware that the system is
compensating for critical braking conditions. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road condition, and to
remind you to take extra care.
Don't mix different diameter tires; it will confuse the ALB
computer which monitors the road speed of each wheel. For
example, if one or more tires are larger than the others, the computer will think they are rolling more slowly (as if they are
about to lock up) and reduce brake pressure to those wheels.On loose or uneven surfaces (gravel, ruts etc.) where all four
wheels loss traction intermittently, the ALB system may require
a longer stopping distance than an equivalent car with a conventional braking system.
The ALB system cannot make up for extreme road conditions or driver misjudgement, It is still the driver's responsibility to drive
at a suitable speed and provide a margin of safety for the road,
weather and traffic conditions at hand.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the wiring or the speed sensors at the
back of each wheel when removing mud or snow from the wheel
housings.
NOTE:
You may hear a sound like a small motor running, coming from the engine while driving or after the ALB is applied. This indicates theALB pump is in service and the system is working properly.

Ignition Switch
The combined ignition switch/anti-theft lock is located on the right side of the steering column and has four positions:
0-LOCK position: The key can be removed or inserted in thisposition. To remove the key, push it in at position I, then turn it to
0 and pull it out. When the key is removed, the steering column

will lock.

NOTE:

On cars equipped with automatic transmissions, the transmission
must be in Park before pushing and turning the key to the O-LOCK position.
Never turn the ignition switch to the lock position or remove the
key while the car is in motion; the steering wheel can lock causing
a loss of directional control, and an accident could result. I-ACCESSORY position: In this position, the accessory circuit is

on, but the ignition circuit is off.
If the key is difficult to turn from the 0 to the I position, turn the

steering wheel slightly to relieve pressure on the lock.
II-ON position: This Is the normal running position.
III-START position: The starter will engage when the key is
turned to this position.
To remind you to remove the ignition key when leaving your car, a beeper will sound if the key is still in the ignition when you open the
driver's door. The beeper system is deactivated when you turn the ignition to 0 (Lock) and fully remove the key.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu t s
