D Driving with tire chains installed.
D Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.

surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti−lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.
"ABS" warning light
The light comes on when the motor switch
is turned to the ON" position. If the anti−
lock brake system works properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds. There-
after, if the system malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
When the ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the parts monitored by the
warning light system. Contact your EV
service station as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
D The light does not come on when the
motor switch is turned to the ON"
position, or remains on.
D The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
Either of the following conditions may
occur, but do not indicate the malfunc-
tion:
D The light may stay on for about 60
seconds after the traction motor is
started. It is normal if it turns off after
a while.
D Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the light. It is normal if
it turns off after a few seconds.
