ABS Function
- The anti-lock brake system is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding obstacles.
- If the electrical system malfunctions, then the fail-safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoperative, and ABS warning lamp turns on.
- Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
- During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
- When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
- Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
