WARNING! (Continued)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent

the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of
the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent

collisions, including those resulting from exces-
sive speed in turns, following another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.

The capabilities of an Anti-Lock Brake System

(ABS) equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner, that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and

type and tires must be properly inflated to produce

accurate signals for the computer.

Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The “Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light” monitors the anti-lock brake system. The

light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position and may stay on for as long as four

seconds.
If the “ABS Warning Light” remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the

brake system is not functioning and that service is

required. However, the conventional brake system will

continue to operate normally if the “Brake Warning

Light” is not on.
If the “ABS Warning Light” is on, the brake system

should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “ABS Warning Light”

does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position, have the bulb repaired as soon as

possible.
