Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let anti

-

lock work for you. You may hear the

anti

-

lock pump or motor operate, and feel the brake

pedal pulsate, but this is normal.

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.

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.

The TRACTION ENGAGED message will display on
the Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See “Driver Information
Center Messages” 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 reengage the cruise control. (See 
“Cruise Control” in the Index.)

This warning light will come on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your traction control system.

See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
