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 Light

The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem. 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 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 light is on, the brake system should be serviced
as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock
brakes. If the ABS light does not come on when the
Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the
bulb repaired as soon as possible.

If both the Brake Warning Light and the ABS Light
remain on, the Anti-Lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic

Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not function-
ing. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

POWER STEERING

The standard power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical
steering capability if power assist is lost.

If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will
still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi-
tions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering
effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during
parking maneuvers.

NOTE:

Increased noise levels at the end of the steering

wheel travel are considered normal and do not indicate
that there is a problem with the power steering system.

Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power
steering pump may make noise for a short amount of
time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering
system. This noise should be considered normal, and
does not in any way damage the steering system.
