speed to suit road and traffic
conditions. Always maintain an
adequate distance to the vehicle
in front of you.
Operation

pulsing of the brake pedal and the
noise of the regulation process.
The initial self-check may also be
audible.
Keep the brake pedal fully pressed
throughout the braking process,
without pumping it.
Caution

ABS, the vehicle’s brake system
remains operational, but without
ABS assistance. Have a Holden
Dealer check the system as soon
as possible.

Fault

Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a Holden dealer.
