Driver Instructions

Following is a set of essential guidelines that the driver should practice to extract the benefits of ABS.

Do’s:

Under panic braking conditions, press hard on the brakes and continue to hold it down

“Brake & Steer” – With ABS, you can steer the vehicle around an obstacle while braking

When ABS warning lamp stays ‘ON’, get the system checked by an authorized service center

To familiarize, practice ABS braking in empty spaces

 

Don’ts:

  Under panic braking conditions, do not pump the brakes. It can disturb ABS operation

  Do not drive aggressively or faster because of ABS

  Do not expect ABS to shorten braking distances in sand, gravel and loose snow 

   Do not switch “OFF” the ignition while driving. This makes ABS non-operational

General Instructions:  

Maintain safe following distances

Adjust brake clearances regularly even with ABS

Maintain tires regularly for optimum braking performance

Drive slowly in adverse terrain and weather conditions

Even when the ABS Warning lamp stays ‘ON’, normal braking is fully functional. However, ABS may not be fully operational. Get the system checked by an authorized service center

When ignition switch is turned ‘ON’, ABS warning lamp turns ‘ON’ for a few seconds and turns ‘OFF’. This is normal condition

Drive slowly and carefully. ABS does not compensate for aggressive driving or risky maneuvours
