ABS Indicator

If this indicator comes on, the anti-

lock function of the braking system

has shut down. The brakes still work

like a conventional system, but

without anti-lock. You should have

your dealer inspect your vehicle as

soon as possible.

You will also see a ‘‘CHECK ABS

SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-

information display (see page 87).

If the indicator comes on while

driving, test the brakes as instructed

on page 558.

If the ABS indicator and the brake

system indicator come on together,

and the parking brake is fully

released, the EBD system may also

be shut down.

Test your brakes as instructed on

page 558. If the brakes feel normal,

drive slowly and have your vehicle

repaired by your dealer as soon as

possible. Avoid sudden hard braking

which could cause the rear wheels to

lock up and possibly lead to a loss of

control.

Important Safety Reminders

ABS does not reduce the time or

distance it takes to stop the

vehicle. It only helps with steering

control during braking.

ABS will not prevent a skid that

results from changing direction

abruptly, such as trying to take a

corner too fast or making a sudden

lane change. Always drive at a safe

speed for the road and weather

conditions.

ABS cannot prevent a loss of

stability. Always steer moderately

when you are braking hard. Severe

or sharp steering wheel movement

can still cause your vehicle to veer

into oncoming traffic or off the road.

A vehicle with ABS may require

uneven surfaces, such as gravel or
