Instrument and control functions5-2712345678910111213WARNINGEWA16051Always keep a sufficient distancefrom the vehicle ahead to match theriding speed even with ABS. The ABS performs best withlong braking distances. On certain surfaces, such asrough or gravel roads, the brak-ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored bythe ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-tem to conventional braking if a mal-function occurs.WARNINGEWA20891The brake control system is not asubstitute for the use of proper rid-ing and braking techniques. Thebrake control system cannot pre-vent all loss of traction due toover-braking from excessive speed,or lateral wheel slip when braking onslippery surfaces.TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostictest when the vehicle is started andreaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).During this test, a clicking noise may beaudible from the hydraulic control unit,and a vibration may be felt at the brakelever or pedal, but this is normal.NOTICEECA20100Be careful not to damage the wheelsensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-wise, improper performance of theABS will result.1.
