qAnti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

í

The ABS control unit continuously

monitors the speed of each wheel. If one

is about to lock up, the ABS respon ds by

automatically releasing and reapplying

that wheel's brake.

The driver will feel a slight vibration in

the brake pedal and may hear a chattering

noise from the brake system. This is

normal when the ABS operates. Don't

pump the brakes, continue to press down

on the brake pedal.

WARNING

Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for

safe driving:

The ABS cannot compensate for

unsafe and reckless driving, excessive

speed, tailgating (following another

vehicle too closely), driving on ice and

snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire

friction and road contact because of

water on the road surface). You can

still have an accident.

NOTE

l

Braking distances may be longer on loose

surfaces (snow or gravel, for example)

which usually have a hard foundation. A

vehicle with a normal braking system may

require less distance to stop under these

conditions because the tires will build up a

wedge of surface layer when the wheels

skid.

l

The sound of the ABS operating may be

heard when starting the engine or

immediately after starting the vehicle.

However, it does not indicate a malfunction.

qABS Warning Light

í

The warning light stays on for a few

seconds when the ignition switch is turned

to the ON position.

If the ABS warning light stays on while

you're driving, the ABS control unit has

detected a system malfunction. If this

occurs, your brakes will function normally

as if the vehicle had no ABS.

Should this happen, consult an Authorized

Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE

When the engine is jump-started to charge the

battery, uneven rpm occurs and the ABS

warning light comes on. This is due to a weak

battery, not a malfunction.

Recharge the battery.
