Principle of operation
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.
ABS
WARNING:
The ABS does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking.
