is working properly. This self check occurs each time the

vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (11 km/h).
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or

stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-

clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose

debris, or panic stops.
You also may experience the following when the brake

system goes into Anti-Lock:

• The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a

short time after the stop),

• The clicking sound of solenoid valves,
• Brake pedal pulsations, and a slight drop or fall away

of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.

These are all normal characteristics of ABS.

WARNING!

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophis-

ticated electronic equipment that may be suscep-
tible to interference caused by improperly installed
or high output radio transmitting equipment. This
interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such equipment
should be performed by qualified professionals.

Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish

their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer. Just
press firmly on your brake pedal when you need
to slow down or stop.
