uuBraking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up,  and helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you can.
The electronic brake distribu tion (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pu mp the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Depress the brake 
pedal and keep holding the pedal firmly do wn. On dry pavement, you will need to 
press on the brake pedal very hard before th e ABS activates. However, you may feel 
the ABS activate immediately if you  are trying to stop on snow or ice.
ABS may activate when you depres s the brake pedal when driving on:
• Wet or snow covered roads.
• Roads paved with stone.
• Roads with uneven surf aces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.
When the vehicle speed goes unde r 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use a tire of 
the incorrect size or type.
If the ABS  indicator comes on while driving, there 
may be a problem with  the system. While normal 
braking will not be affected, there is a possibility that 
the ABS will not be opera ting. Have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS is not designed  for the purpose of reducing 
the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is 
designed to limit brake lockup which can lead to 
skidding and loss of steering control.
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:
•You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces, 
such as gravel or snow.
•The tires are equipped with tire chains*.
The following may be observed with the ABS system:
•Motor sounds coming from the engine 
compartment when the brakes are applied, or 
when system checks are being performed after the 
power system has been started while vehicle 
accelerates.
•Brake pedal and/or the vehicle body vibration when 
ABS activates.
These vibrations and sou nds are normal to ABS 
systems and are no cause for concern.
* Not available on all models
