When the anti-lock brake system (ABS) function is in
action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and
hear a noise. In this situation, to let the anti-lock
brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal
down more firmly. Do not pump the brake as this will
result in reduced braking
performance.
