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
and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear a motor or
clicking noise during a hard stop, but this is normal.
Traction
Control
System
Your
vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin.
This
is
especially useful
in
slippery road conditions.
The system operates only
if
it senses that one or both of
the
front wheels are spinning
or
beginning to lose traction.
When
this
happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
TRACTION
ACTIVE
This light will come
on
when your traction control
system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Traction Control
System Active Light”
in
the
Index.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal.
If your vehicle
is
in cruise control when the traction
control 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.)
