CAUTION
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on

cle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which
could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

ment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If the tire is flat, change to
