avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. For

more information about ABS, refer to “Anti-Lock Brake

System” in Section 5.

WARNING!

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics

from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the

traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The

ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those re-

sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on

very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe,

attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.

The capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner

that could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of

others.

TCS (Traction Control System) — If Equipped

This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each

driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is

applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is

reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability.

A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a

limited-slip differential (LSD) and controls the wheel

spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is

spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the

brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine

torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.

This feature remains active even if TCS and ESPare in the

“Partial Off” mode. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability

Program)” in this section for more information.

BAS (Brake Assist System) — If Equipped

This system complements the ABS by optimizing the

vehicle braking capability during emergency braking

maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking
