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 a

little during a stop, but this is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same

time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more

than even the very best braking.

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 SYS ACTIVE message will come on

when the TCS system is limiting wheel spin. See

“Traction Sys Active Message” in the Index. You may

feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS system

begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will

automatically disengage. When road conditions allow

you to safely use it again, you may re

-engage the cruise

control. See “Cruise Control” in the Index.
