The anti-lock braking system only works in conjunction with the service brakes. If the brake pedal pulsates noisily during braking, this indicates that the ABS system is working. Pulsation and noise are normal. Do not release the brake pedal at this point.
The fact that your car can provide high driving safety does not mean that you can take unnecessary risks.
Note: Tire size and type are important for the proper operation of the ABS system, so please replace with tires of the same size, load range and structure if necessary. Using a different size tire will have a serious impact on the performance of the ABS system.
ABS operation, use of the ABS brake system
In the event of an emergency, press the brake pedal as hard as you can and hold your foot down - the anti-lock braking system will work immediately and allow you to retain control of the steering column. If there is enough space, you can go around the obstacle.
It is recommended to gain experience using the brakes first; one way or another, it is necessary to avoid any unnecessary risk.
The ABS system provides better braking performance, but the braking distance varies significantly depending on road conditions. ABS does not guarantee a reduction in braking distance in all road conditions. For example, on sand or snow, the braking distance of a vehicle with ABS will be significantly greater than in the case without the ABS system.
The main principle of using the ABS system:
- 1. Press and hold the brake pedal firmly.
- 2. Turn the steering wheel to avoid interference. No matter how tightly the brake pads are pressed, you still have control of the steering wheel.
In the same case, the use of ABS does not allow to avoid the threat at a short distance, while driving in water, driving too fast or in poor road conditions; it is also impossible to avoid emergency situations caused by error or improper vehicle control. Please be careful when driving and reduce speed when turning.
If the ABS warning light comes on while the vehicle is moving
, this indicates a malfunction in the ABS system circuit and the ABS system stops functioning. But this does not affect the operation of the brakes in any way. In this situation, please contact an authorized service station as soon as possible.
If two warning lights come on at once
then this indicates a malfunction of both the ABS and the braking system. At the same time, the vehicle's braking system remains partially functional. However, sudden braking becomes extremely dangerous, so it is necessary to stop immediately as soon as possible. Contact a service station.
