The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster

than

any driver could. The computer is programmed to

make the most of available

tire

and road conditions.

You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.

you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on

wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.

Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need

to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease

stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in

front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes

if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave

enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have

anti-lock brakes.

Using Anti-Lock

Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down

firmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear a

motor or clicking noise and feel the brake pedal move

little during a stop, but this is normal.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Your vehicle has a traction control system called TCS

that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in

slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it

senses that the rear wheels are spinning too much or are

beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the

system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power

(by closing the throttle and managing engine spark) to

limit wheel spin.

The TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE message will

come on when the TCS system

limiting wheel spin.

See “TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE Message” in the

Index. You may feel or hear the system working, but this

is normal.
