WARNING!

(Continued)

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-

ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.

The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.

The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.

All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and

type and tires must be properly inflated to produce

accurate signals for the computer.

Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” moni-

tors the ABS. The light will turn on when the

ignition switch is turned to the ON position

and may stay on for as long as four seconds.

If the “ABS Warning Light” remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the

brake system is not functioning and that service is

required. However, the conventional brake system will

continue to operate normally if the “Brake System Warn-

ing Light” is not on.
If the “ABS Warning Light” is on, the brake system

should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “ABS Warning Light”

does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position, have the light repaired as soon as

possible.
