When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (11 km/h), you
may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some
related motor noises. These noises are the system per-
forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system
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 so-

phisticated electronic equipment that may be sus-
ceptible to interference caused by improperly in-
stalled

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.
