If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, if you turn the steering wheel while braking hard, it will have the same effect as if you turned the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal. Therefore, be careful when turning the steering wheel.
Although the braking distance of a vehicle with ABS is usually shorter than that of a vehicle without ABS, its length depends greatly on road conditions and many other factors. Therefore, keep the same distance from the vehicle in front as if your vehicle did not have ABS.
Also, since the braking distance on gravel or slippery roads is longer for a car with ABS than for a car without ABS, you must drive at a reduced speed on such roads.
When driving on a slippery road, press the brake pedal gradually and do not release it abruptly.
Do not attempt to release the brake pedal to prevent wheel lockup on a vehicle with ABS.

After driving on icy or snowy roads, clear away any snow or ice that may have accumulated around the wheels. Be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors and their connecting wires. Sensors are installed on each wheel of a vehicle with an ABS system.
If the ABS warning light comes on after starting the engine or while driving the vehicle, it means that there is a fault in the ABS system and that only the normal braking system is now functioning. In this case, contact specialists to check the ABS system.
When the ABS system is operating, you may feel a slight vibration in the vehicle body, steering wheel and brake pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
After starting the engine and when the vehicle speed reaches 8 km/h, the noise of the running engine and a howling sound may be heard in the engine compartment. These sounds are produced by the ABS system during self-testing and do not indicate a malfunction.
Caution: To ensure that the ABS system functions correctly, the following must be observed.
Caution! Do not install a differential with increased internal friction on a vehicle with ABS.
Attention! Install tires of the same size and brand on all wheels.
