(ABS)*
ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you theABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes

tires are cold
See Owner’s Manual for rotation
schedule and chart
Tire pressure
Decal on driver’s door latch
pillar provides tire size and
