Operation

The ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)/TCS (Traction Control System) allows for two-way communication between the following two systems.
1. The ABS system consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of braking force so that locking of the wheels can be avoided.

The ABS system:
1. Ensures proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2. Enables obstacles to be avoided through steering wheel operation.
3. Ensures vehicle stability by preventing flat spins.

2. The TCS (Traction Control System) is mainly effective for vehicle starting or acceleration on slippery road surfaces. It minimizes drive wheel slipping and enhances vehicle stability. The system helps to reduce the mental stress on the driver during delicate accelerator pedal control.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Operation
- When the vehicle speed is less than 10 KPH (6 MPH) this system does not work.
- The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has self-test capabilities. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp for 1 second after turning the ignition switch ON. The system performs another test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 KPH (4 MPH). A mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs a self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test feature. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will come on.
- During ABS operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.
