ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased

vehicle stability and brake performance under most

braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps”

the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent

wheel lock-up.

The Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) prevents

the rear wheels from over-braking and provides greater

control of available braking forces applied to the rear

axle.

When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (11 km/h), you

may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some

related motor noises. These noises are the system per-

forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS is

working properly. This self check occurs each time the

vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (11 km/h).

ABS is activated during braking under certain road or

stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-

clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose

debris, or panic stops.

You also may experience the following when the brake

system goes into Anti-Lock:

•

The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a

short time after the stop),

•

The clicking sound of solenoid valves,

•

Brake pedal pulsations, and

•

A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end

of the stop.

These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
