uuBraking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up,  and helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribu tion (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Keep holding the 
pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very 
hard before the ABS activates. However,  you may feel the ABS activate immediately 
if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.
When the vehicle speed goes under  6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an 
incorrect tire type and size.
When the ABS  indicator comes on while driving, 
there may be a problem with the system.
While normal braking is not affected, there is a 
possibility of the ABS not operating. Have your 
vehicle checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS does not reduce the time or distan ce it takes 
to stop the vehicle. It only  helps with steering control 
during hard braking.
In the following cases, your vehicle may need more 
stopping distance than a vehicle without the ABS:
•When driving on rough road surfaces, including 
when driving on uneven surf aces, such as gravel or 
snow.
•When snow chains are installed.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the 
engine compartment while system checks are being 
performed immediately after starting the engine or 
while driving. This is normal.
