Warning and Cautions for Using the Antilock Brake System (ABS)

 


Do not rely on the ABS as a substitute for safe driving.

The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), driving on ice and snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

 


Always use tires of the specified size and type for the front and rear wheels. If a tire other than the specified size or type is installed, the ABS system may not operate normally.
