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 antilock work for you. You might

hear the antilock pump or motor operate, and feel the

brake pedal pulsate, 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 the front wheels are spinning too much or are

beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the

system works the front brakes and reduces engine power

by closing the throttle and managing engine spark to limit

wheel spin.

This light will ﬂash when

your traction control system

is limiting wheel spin.

You may feel or hear the system working, but this is

normal.
