First 600 miles: Drive at varying
road and engine speeds; avoid

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)*
ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
ABS self test*
A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normalUnique driving conditions
