Caution: Use tires of the same size, construction and load capacity as the original vehicle tires, as using a different type of tire may interfere with the proper operation of the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
1. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is designed to automatically prevent wheel locking during sudden braking or braking on slippery surfaces, and ensures stable vehicle control.
2. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is activated when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h and deactivated when the vehicle speed falls below 5 km/h.
3. When driving a vehicle, take the following precautions:
- a) The ABS system may feel like a slight vibration in the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal to stop, just press it harder. Pumping the brake pedal will increase the stopping distance.
- b) Braking efficiency depends on the tires' grip on the road surface. On slippery road surfaces, even with the ABS system operating, the driver cannot always control the vehicle's movement at high speed or when performing maneuvers.
- c) Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Compared to vehicles without ABS, your vehicle's braking distance will be longer in the following situations:
- When driving on bumpy, gravel or snow-covered roads.
- When driving on roads that are potholed or have other differences in road surface height.
4. When the ignition is turned on, the ABS indicator on the instrument cluster lights up for a few seconds. If the indicator lights up continuously after starting the engine or lights up while driving, this means that the ABS system is not working and only the regular brake system is working.
5. If the indicator lights up while driving, then:
- a) Stop the car and turn off the engine.
- b) Start the engine again, and if the A8S indicator does not light up after starting, then there is no fault.
- c) If the ABS indicator lights up after starting or lights up again after driving, use the regular brake to drive the vehicle to the repair shop.
Note: If the EBD system is faulty, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and parking brake status and brake fluid level indicators will illuminate simultaneously.
6. After starting the engine with the booster battery, if you start driving before the battery is sufficiently charged, the engine will run rough and the ABS indicator will flash. This phenomenon is only caused by insufficient battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. In this case, leave the engine idling to recharge the battery, and then continue driving.
