The ABS prevents the lock-up of wheels which may occur during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This helps prevent the loss of steering control and directional stability caused by wheel lock-up.
When the ABS is operating, you may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal when the ABS operates.
The ABS will not operate when the vehicle speed is below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING
Always use the utmost care in driving - overconfidence because you are driving a vehicle with the ABS could easily lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
ABS self-check
Just after the vehicle is started, you may feel on the brake pedal a vibration similar to when the ABS operates, and you may also hear the sound of the ABS working from the engine compartment. This is caused by an automatic functional test of the ABS being carried out and does not indicate a malfunction.
ABS warning light
Refer to "ABS warning light" F3-21.

fully closed before arming the system.
