Remember: ABS does not 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 will not have time to apply the brakes if that

vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave

enough room up ahead to stop, even though

you have ABS.

Using ABS

Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake

pedal down ﬁrmly and let anti-lock work for you.

You might feel the brakes vibrate or notice

some noise, but this is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

With ABS, 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 may have a Traction Control

System (TCS) 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 rear wheels are spinning or

beginning to lose traction. When this happens,

the system reduces engine power and may

also upshift the transmission to limit wheel spin.

You may feel or hear the system working,

but this is normal.

The TCS button is

located on your

instrument panel.

Press this button

to turn the TCS

off and on.

When the traction control system is turned off,

an indicator light on the button will illuminate.
