Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped) The ABS system continuously sens-
es the speed of the wheels. If the
wheels are going to lock, the ABSsystem 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 system is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS system in anemergency 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 system
to control the force being delivered to
the brakes.
WARNING
- ABS Brakes
Your ABS is not a substitute for
good driving judgement. You
can still have an accident. In
fact, your ABS system will prob-
ably not be able to prevent an
accident in the following drivingconditions:
Dangerous driving, such as neglecting safety precautions,
speeding, or driving too close
to the vehicle in front of you.
Driving at high speed in situa- tions providing considerably
less traction, such as wet con-
ditions where hydroplaning
could occur.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Driving too fast on poor roadsurfaces. The ABS is
designed to improve maxi-
mum braking effectiveness on
typical highways and roads in
good condition. On poor roadsurfaces in poor condition,
the ABS may actually reduce
braking effectiveness.

If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of windows on rainy humid days,decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air condi-tioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed at idle as the air condition-
ing compressor cycles on. This is
a normal system operation charac-
teristics.
Use the air conditioning system every month if only for a few min-
utes to ensure maximum system
performance.
When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even pudding) on the
