Infiniti FX45 (2006) [271/392] Warning

Infiniti FX45 (2006) [271/392] Warning
braking abruptly or when braking on slip-
pery surfaces. The system detects the rota-
tion speed at each wheel and varies the
brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel
from locking and sliding. By preventing
wheel lockup, the system helps the driver
maintain steering control and helps to
minimize swerving and spinning on slip-
pery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may
result in increased stopping distances.
Normal operation
The anti-lock brake system will not operate
at speeds below 3 to 6 MPH (5 to 10 km/h)
to completely stop the vehicle. (The speeds
will vary according to road conditions.)
When the anti-lock system senses that one
or more wheels are close to locking up, the
actuator (under the hood) rapidly applies
and releases hydraulic pressure (like
pumping the brakes very quickly). While
the actuator is working, you may feel a pul-
sation in the brake pedal and hear a noise
or vibration from the actuator under the
hood. This is normal and indicates that the
anti-lock system is working properly. How-
ever, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care is
required while driving.
Self-test feature
The anti-lock brake system consists of
electronic sensors, electric pumps and hy-
draulic solenoids controlled by a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you
start the engine and move the vehicle at a
low speed in forward or reverse. When the
self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk”
noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indica-
tion of any malfunction. If the computer
senses any malfunction, it switches the
anti-lock brake system off and turns on the
ABS warning light on the instrument panel.
The brake system then operates normally,
but without anti-lock assistance.
If the light comes on during the self-test, or
while driving, take your vehicle to an IN-
FINITI dealer for repair.
WARNING
The anti-lock brake system is a sophisticated
device, but it cannot prevent accidents re-
sulting from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain vehicle con-
trol during braking on slippery surfaces, but
remember that the stopping distance on slip-
pery surfaces will be longer than on normal
surfaces, even with the anti-lock brake
system. Stopping distances may also be
longer on rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you. Ultimately, the responsibility for
safety of yourself and others rests in the
hands of the driver.
Tire type and condition of tires may also af-
fect braking effectiveness.
O When replacing tires, install the speci-
fied size of tires on all four wheels.
O When installing a spare tire, make sure it
is the proper size and type as specified
