ABS operation sound
  1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation (whine).
  2. Sound is generated along with vibration of the brake pedal (scraping).
  3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated brake application and release

    (Thump: suspension; squeak: tires)

ABS operation (Long braking distance) For road surfaces such as snow-covered and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed.
