The Braking System

Important Safety Reminders

ABS does not reduce the time or

distance it takes to stop the car, it
only helps with steering control
during braking. You should always

maintain a safe following distance
from other vehicles.

ABS will not prevent a skid that

results from changing direction

abruptly, such as trying to take a

corner too fast or making a sudden

lane change. Always drive at a safe,
prudent speed for the road and
weather conditions.

ABS cannot prevent a loss of

stability. Always steer moderately

when you are braking hard. Severe

or sharp steering wheel movement
can still cause your car to veer into
oncoming traffic or off the road.

A vehicle with ABS may require a

longer distance to stop on loose or
uneven surfaces, such as gravel or

snow, than a vehicle without anti-

lock. Slow down and allow a greater

distance between vehicles under
those conditions.
