The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is a vital safety feature designed to help maintain steering control during sudden stops or challenging road conditions, such as icy or wet surfaces.
Can I still drive with my ABS light on?
- If the ABS warning light comes on by itself, your vehicle’s standard braking system should still function. However, the ABS may not assist in emergency braking situations.
- You can continue driving, but exercise extra caution, increase your following distance and drive at a moderate speed.
- Contact your nearest Europcar location at your earliest convenience to arrange a vehicle inspection.
What If Both the ABS Light and Brake Warning Light Are On?
If both warning lights appear simultaneously, it could indicate a potential brake system failure. In this case:
- Pull over as soon as it is safe to do so.
- Switch off the engine.
- Contact Europcar’s dedicated breakdown provider for immediate assistance.
Your safety is our priority - if you notice any warning lights, don’t ignore them.
