8-4 ABS – driving hints
• Even if the ABS system fails and the warn-
ing lamp illuminates, the normal brakes still work
properly. You must, however, drive very carefully
on slippery roads.
CAUTION
There are ABS components and electric wiring
located behind the wheels. When removing
snow or ice having adhered to the wheel areas
after driving on snow-covered roads, be careful
not to damage the ABS components and wiring.
Also, avoid exposing the ABS components and
wiring to high-pressure water or cleaner steam
as the system could be damaged and not oper-
ate properly.
If illuminated, this lamp indicates that there is a mal-
function in the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
Should this lamp illuminate during driving, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and perform the following
inspection.
NOTE:
The ABS is normal if the warning lamp lights
up when the starter switch is turned on and goes
out approx. 2 seconds later.
1. Turn off the engine, then set the ignition switch
to the “ON” position again.
2. Determine the system condition as follows:
• The system is faulty if the warning lamp
does not illuminate.
• The system is normal if the lamp illuminates
and then it goes out when the vehicle speed
exceeds approx. 10 km/h (6 mph).
