2000 HONDA S2000 ABS

ABS Indicator
The ABS is self-checking. If anything
goes wrong,
the ABS indicator on
the instrument panel comes on (see
page
45 ) . This means the anti-lock
function of the braking system has
shut down. The brakes still work like
a conventional system without anti­
lock, providing normal stopping
ability. You should have the dealer
inspect your car as soon as possible.

Maintenance 181

Tires
The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. When replacing
tires, use the same size originally
supplied with the car. Tire size and
construction can affect wheel speed
and may cause the system to work
in­
consistently.
If you ever need to replace a wheel,
make sure the wheel's specifications
match those of the original wheel
that came on your car. Replacement
wheels are available at your Honda
dealer.

See page 246 for information about
DOT Tire Quality Grading.
Winter Driving
Tires that are marked "M + S" on the
sidewall have an all-weather tread
design.
They should be suitable for
most winter driving conditions. Tires
without these markings are designed
for optimum traction in dry
conditions.
They may not provide
adequate performance in winter
driving.
For the best performance in snowy
or icy conditions, you should install
snow tires or tire chains.
They may
be required by local laws under
certain conditions.

Replacing an Interior Light Bulb
1. Remove the lens by carefully
prying on
the front edge of the

2. Remove the bulb by pulling it
straight out of its metal tabs.
3. Push the new bulb into the metal
tabs.
Snap the lens back in place.
