WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient
d
istance
from the vehicle ahea
d
to match the
ri
d
in
g
spee
d
even with ABS.
The ABS performs
b
est with
lon
g
b
rakin
g
d
istances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rou
g
h or
g
ravel roa
d
s, the
b
rak-
in
g
d
istance may
b
e lon
g
er with
the ABS than without.
The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
WARNING
EWA20891
The
b
rake control system is not a
su
b
stitute for the use of proper ri
d
-
in
g
an
d
b
rakin
g
techniques. The
b
rake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction
d
ue to over-
b
rakin
g
from excessive spee
d
, or
lateral wheel slip when
b
rakin
g
on
slippery surfaces.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagnostic
test when the vehicle is started and
reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).
During this test, a clicking noise may
be audible from the hydraulic control
unit, and a vibration may be felt at the
brake lever or pedal, but this is normal.
