Owner`s manual

In sudden braking and on wet surfaces, the
wheels are more easily locked. If the front
wheels lock, steering control may be difficult.
If the rear wheels lock, swerving or spinning
of the vehicle may result. To reduce this
possibility, short and quick pumping of the
brakes is needed, but this technique can be
difficult for some drivers, especially in an
emergency. The Anti-Lock braking system
(ABS) can perform this pumping action
quickly and is automatic when the driver
depresses the brake pedal firmly. Since the
braking force is controlled delicately by elec-
tronic control, wheel lock-up is minimized,
and steering operation remains normal.
Brake pedal kickback remains minimal, and
smooth pedal feel is ensured even when the
ABS is operating.
Fail Safe
If the ABS control unit detects a malfunction in
any of the system electrical circuits, it will
de-activate the anti-lock function by cutting
electrical power to the ABS actuator. The
braking system will then work as usual,
without the anti-lock function.
If the control unit stops the ABS system
operation, the ABS warning lamp will glow.
This will aid your INFINITI dealership techni-
cian in diagnosis of the problem.
