If the anti-lock brake system is disabled, normal braking is still
effective. If the brake warning lamp illuminates with the parking
brake released, have your brake system serviced immediately.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.

The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the dangers inherent
when:
• you drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you.
• your vehicle is hydroplaning.
• you take corners too fast.
• the road surface is poor.

PARKING BRAKE

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake
warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
that the transmission selector lever is securely latched in position

P.

To set the parking brake, press the parking brake pedal down to its
fullest extent.

To release the parking brake, press the parking brake pedal down again.
