Normal operation
TheABS operates at speeds above 5to10km/h
(3 to 6MPH). The speed varies according to road
conditions.
Whenthe ABS senses that one or more wheels
areclose to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap-
plies and releases hydraulic pressure. This ac-
tion is similar to pumping the brakes very
quickly. Youmay feel apulsation in the brake
pedaland hearanoise from under the bonnetor
feel avibration from the actuator when it is op-
erating. Thisisnormal and indicates that the
ABSisoperating properly.However,the pulsa-
tion mayindicate thatroad conditionsare haz-
ardousand extracare is required while driving.
