Windscreen Wipers and
Wa s h e r
The ignition must be switched ON to use
the wipers.
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Only use windscreen washer fluid mixed
with anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions:
Using windscreen washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing weather
conditions is dangerous as it could freeze
on the windscreen and block your vision
which could cause an accident. In addition,
make sure the windscreen is sufficiently
warmed using the defroster before
spraying the washer fluid.

Antilock Brake System(ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed o f each wheel. If one
wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing and
reapplying that wheel's brake.

The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a chattering
noise from the brake system. This is
normal ABS system operation. Continue
to depress the brak e pedal without
pumping the brakes.

The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-42.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for safe
driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), driving on ice and snow, and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTE
•Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these conditions
because the tyres will build up a wedge
of surface layer when the wheels skid.
•The sound of the ABS operating may be
heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle,
however, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
