Antilock Brake System (ABS)

Your vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an

advanced electronic braking system that will help

prevent a braking skid.

When you start the engine and begin to drive away,

ABS will check itself. You might hear a momentary

motor or clicking noise while this test is going on, and

you might even notice that the brake pedal moves

or pulses a little. This is normal.

If there is a problem with

ABS, this warning light will

stay on. See Antilock

Brake System Warning

Light on page 3-42.

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.

Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam

on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what

happens with ABS:

A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If

one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer

will separately work the brakes at each wheel.

ABS can change the brake pressure faster than any

driver could. The computer is programmed to make the

most of available tire and road conditions. This can

help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard.

As you brake, the computer keeps receiving updates

on wheel speed and controls braking pressure

accordingly.

Remember: ABS does not change the time you need to

get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease

stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle

in front of you, you will not have time to apply the brakes

if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave

enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have

ABS.

Using ABS

Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal

down ﬁrmly and let antilock work for you. You might feel

a slight brake pedal pulsation or notice some noise,

but this is normal.
