System Description
- The Anti-Lock Braking System detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding obstacles.
- If the electrical system malfunction, then fail-safe function is activated, ABS becomes inoperative, and ABS warning lamp turns ON.
- Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
- During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
- Just after starting the vehicle after the ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be heard from engine component. This is a normal status of operation check.
- Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
