Anti-Lock
Brakes
Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes
(ABS).
ABS
is an
advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking
skid.
When you start your engine and begin to
drive
away,
your anti-lock brake system will check itself.
You
may
hear
a momentary motor or clicking noise while
this
test
is going on, and you may even notice that your brake
pedal moves a little. This is normal.

If
there’s a problem with the
anti-lock brake system,
this
warning light will stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light’’ in
the Index.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet.
You’re driving safely. Suddenly an
animal
jumps out in
front
of
you.
You
slam on the brakes. Here’s 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 front wheel and at
both rear wheels.
