ABS





FEATURE
- The ABS (Anti-lock brake system) electrically controls brake fluid pressure to prevent wheel "lock" during braking on slippery road surfaces, thereby improving directional/steering stability as well as shortening the braking distance.
- If the ABS becomes inoperative, the fail-safe system activates to ensure it acts as a conventional brake system. The warning light also comes on to indicate that the ABS is malfunctioning.
- The front-and-rear wheels utilize a 4-sensor, 4-channel control design: the front wheels have an independent control design*l and the rear wheels have a select low control design*2

*1: A system which independently controls fluid pressure to left and right front wheels.
*2: A system which provides the same fluid pressure control for the two rear wheels if either wheel starts to "lock."
