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.

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

-

lock work for you. You may

feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise,
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 may have a Traction Assist System (TAS)
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 to limit
wheel spin.

This light will come 
on when the TAS is 
limiting wheel spin. 
See “Low Traction Light”
in the Index.

You may hear or feel the system working or notice a
lack of accelerator response, but this is normal.
