Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
ODH053055L
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead of you. Vehicle
speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road
conditions. The braking distance
for cars equipped with ABS or
ESC may be longer than for
those without these systems in
the following road conditions.
•Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following
conditions:
•Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
•Tire chains are installed on
your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.
