The anti-lock brake
system automatically adjusts the brake pressure as needed to provide
optimum braking control, reducing
the chance of wheel lock-up during hard braking
events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or loose surfaces.
 WARNING |
| No stability control, traction control or anti-lock braking system
can fully protect you from every situation. Always be mindful
of road conditions. Always
drive safely and within the limits of the driver, vehicle and road
conditions. |
| WARNING |
| Stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking systems
rely on grip between the tires and the road to function
properly. In a hydroplane
situation, tires lose contact with the road and the effectiveness
of these features may be diminished. |
| IMPORTANT |
| When operating the vehicle in wet or reduced traction conditions,
always leave the traction control and stability control
enabled. |
- The anti-lock brake
system cannot be turned off.
- When the lamp is
illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional
brake system will continue to operate
normally. See your dealer or another qualified
person promptly for service.
- Operating with non-recommended
tires or improper tire pressure may reduce the effectiveness of the
anti-lock brake system.
Always use the recommended size and type
of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain the recommended
tire pressure.
- Always ensure that
your tires have sufficient tread depth. See Tire
Tread Depth for recommended tire depth.
- The anti-lock brake
system will not prevent wheel lockup, loss of traction or loss of
control under all conditions. Always adhere to all safe operating practices as recommended.
- It is not unusual
to leave tire marks on the road surface during a hard braking event.
- The anti-lock brake
system does not compensate for or reduce the risks associated with:
- excessive speed
- reduced traction
on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
- poor judgment
- improper operation
- hydroplaning
- wet or slippery road
conditions
- unforeseen hazards
is located between the seats. To help prevent the vehicle
from rolling, engage the park brake when the vehicle is parked.
When the park brake is engaged and the park brake
indicator is illuminated, the vehicle will not move. Always apply
the brakes
before engaging or releasing the park brake.
