ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 5A4-5
When the Anti-lock feature is being used, the brake ped-
al may rise even as the brakes are being applied.
This is also normal. Maintaining a consist force on the
pedal will provide the shortest stopping distance.
Brake Pedal Travel
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System may
be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal.
Although there is no need to push the pedal beyond the
point where it stops or holds the vehicle, by applying
more force the pedal will continue to travel toward the
floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.
