1.1 Brake pedal operation
Hold the brake pedal depressed as necessary even
when the ABS is in operation.
When the ABS is working, you may feel very slight
or slow vibration through the brake pedal, but this
does not indicate an abnormal condition. Continue
depressing the brake pedal.
You may also feel slight vibration of the vehicle
body or hear the sound of a motor running. These
conditions are caused by normal operation of the
system, and are not a fault.
1.2 Braking distance
The braking distance varies with the road surface
condition. On a gravel road or a road covered with
deep, fresh snow, the braking distance may be
longer with ABS-equipped vehicles than with vehi-
cles without ABS.
1.3 Steering wheel operation
In the case of hard braking, you may feel the vehicle
pulling slightly to the right or left. If this occurs when
the wheels on one side are on ice or another slip-
pery surface and the wheels on the other side are
not, you may have to correct the direction with the
steering wheel.
1.4 Illumination of ABS warning lamp
If the ABS warning lamp comes on while driving, the
system is faulty. Although the ABS function is not
available under this condition, the brake system
operates normally. P. 6-34
