STARTING AND DRIVING
11 6Even though the anti−lock brake system is operating, a
driver cannot maintain full control on certain slippery road
surfaces, when cornering at high speeds, or in violent

system cannot eliminate the risk of hydroplaning and loss
of tire friction.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. Compared with vehicles not fitted with an anti−lock brake
system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping distance
in the following cases:
Driving on rough, gravel or snow−covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has
other differences in surface height.“ABS” warning light
