Subaru Outback (BR): ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
WARNING
Always use the utmost care in driving – overconfidence because you are driving
with an ABS equipped vehicle could easily lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
● The ABS system does not always decrease stopping distance. You should always
maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles.
● When driving on badly surfaced roads, gravel roads, icy road, or over deep
newly fallen snow, stopping distances may be longer for a vehicle with the ABS system
than one without. When driving under these conditions, therefore, reduce your speed
and leave ample distance from other vehicles.
● When you feel the ABS system operating, you should maintain constant brake
pedal pressure. Do not pump the brake pedal since doing so may defeat the operation
of the ABS system.
The ABS system prevents the lock-up of wheels which may occur during sudden braking
or braking on slippery road surfaces. This helps prevent the loss of steering control
and directional stability caused by wheel lock-up.
When the ABS system is operating, you may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal when the ABS operates.
The ABS system will not operate when the vehicle speed is below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
