ABS Warning

Schedule a Visit — Urgency 3/5
Can I still drive? — With caution

You can drive carefully, but be extra gentle with braking, especially in wet or icy conditions. Leave more space between you and the car in front. Avoid sudden stops if possible. Get it checked within a few days. This is general guidance — your mechanic can tell you more about your specific situation.

This is general guidance. Your situation may differ — when in doubt, don’t drive.

What does this mean?

ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. It is the system that stops your wheels from locking up when you brake hard — like on a wet road. When this light is on, your normal brakes still work, but you lose that extra anti-lock protection. Think of it like losing your safety net.

What should I do right now?

Your regular brakes should still work normally, so don't panic. But do book an appointment with your mechanic soon. The ABS system has sensors on each wheel, and one of them may need cleaning or replacing. It is usually a straightforward fix.
