| What does this warning light on my dash mean ? What do i do ? |
ABS / Anti lock brake warning.
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses several sensors, motors, and a
computer in conjunction with the normal braking system.
The ABS regulates the brake pressure in order to reduce wheel lock-ups.
Reduced wheel lock-ups improve the driver's control of the vehicle during
braking.
Improved stability and steering enable greater control of the vehicle in the
case of an abrupt stop.
The ABS operation is available from 5 km/h (3 mph) to the maximum vehicle
speed.
A warning light means a problem was detected, and the system needs to be
scanned for codes in order find out the area the fault is in. With the light on,
ABS operation is not present, but normal braking is.
