WARNING!
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains
sophisticated electronic equipment that may
be susceptible to interference caused by im-
properly installed or high output radio trans-
mitting equipment. This interference can
cause possible loss of Anti-Lock braking ca-
pability. Installation of such equipment should
be performed by qualified professionals.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same
size and type and tires must be properly in-
flated to produce accurate signals for the com-
puter.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional
advanced electronic brake control system that
includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake
Assist System (BAS), Traction Control System
(TCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Hill
Start Assist (HSA), and Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC). All systems work together to en-
hance vehicle stability and control in various
driving conditions and are commonly referred
to as ESC.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
This system aids the driver in maintaining ve-
hicle control under adverse braking conditions.
The system controls hydraulic brake pressure
to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skid-
ding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer
to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in “Starting and
Operating” for further information.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and
amount of brake application and then applies
optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help
reduce braking distances. The BAS comple-
ments the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Ap-
plying the brakes very quickly results in the
best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of
the system, you must apply
continuous
brak-
ing pressure during the stopping sequence (do
not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake
pedal pressure unless braking is no longer
desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the
BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
•
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions.
•
The BAS cannot prevent accidents, includ-
ing those resulting 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 a BAS-equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of others.
Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin
of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is
detected, brake pressure is applied to the
slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced
