The anti-lock brake system (ABS)

helpspreventthewheelsfrom

locking up, and helps you retain

steering control by pumping the

brakes rapidly, much faster than a

person can do it.

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 feel a pulsation in the brake

pedal when the ABS activates, and

you may hear some noise. This is

normal: it is the ABS rapidly

ABS activates. However, you may

feel the ABS activate immediately if

you are trying to stop on snow or ice.

Let the ABS work for you by always

keeping firm, steady pressure on the

brake pedal. This is sometimes

referred to as ‘‘stomp and steer.’’

The electronic brake distribution

(EBD) system, which is part of the

ABS, also balances the front-to-rear

braking distribution according to

vehicle loading.

When the ABS indicator comes on,

you will also see a ‘‘CHECK ABS

SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-

information display.

You should never pump the brake pedal.
