Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The anti-lock brake system automatically adjusts the brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or loose surfaces.

WARNING
No stability control, traction control or anti-lock braking system can fully protect you from every situation. Always be mindful of road conditions. Always drive safely and within the limits of the driver, vehicle and road conditions.
WARNING
Stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking systems rely on grip between the tires and the road to function properly. In a hydroplane situation, tires lose contact with the road and the effectiveness of these features may be diminished.
IMPORTANT
When operating the vehicle in wet or reduced traction conditions, always leave the traction control and stability control enabled.

  • The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off.

  • When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally. See your dealer or another qualified person promptly for service.

  • Operating with non-recommended tires or improper tire pressure may reduce the effectiveness of the anti-lock brake system. Always use the recommended size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain the recommended tire pressure.

  • Always ensure that your tires have sufficient tread depth. See Tire Tread Depth for recommended tire depth.

  • The anti-lock brake system will not prevent wheel lockup, loss of traction or loss of control under all conditions. Always adhere to all safe operating practices as recommended.

  • It is not unusual to leave tire marks on the road surface during a hard braking event.

  • The anti-lock brake system does not compensate for or reduce the risks associated with:

    • excessive speed

    • reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces

    • poor judgment

    • improper operation

    • hydroplaning

    • wet or slippery road conditions

    • unforeseen hazards
