7-9
If a vehicle is driven on a slippery road or it is run-
ning with no or only light load, the wheels can lock
and then skid when the brake pedal is strongly
depressed. The ABS is a computer-controlled sys-
tem that deters the wheels from locking by control-
ling the braking force on each wheel.
The ABS is combined with EBD, which appropri-
ately distributes the braking force according to the
weight on each axle and can delay operation of the
ABS to the point beyond which all wheels will lock.
CAUTION
If you intend to install radio equipment, please
contact an authorized dealer beforehand.
WARNING
Never operate the vehicle if the brake system
is faulty or brake fluid is leaking. Failure to
observe this instruction could lead to a seri-
ous accident.
Antilock braking system (ABS)
WARNING
• The ABS is not intended to make it possible
to drive in a manner exceeding the vehi-
cle’s performance limits. It is your responsi-
bility to take sufficient care to assure safety
when driving on a slippery road.
• The ABS does not always shorten the
braking distance. Do not depend too much
on the system, but keep safe following dis-
tances.
