Apply the parking brake only when the vehi-
cle is at rest.
WARNING:
C300A03Y-EAT
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM  (TCS)
(Not all models)
ABS will  not prevent accidents  due to im-
proper or  dangerous driving manoeuvres.
Even  though vehicle  control  is  improved
during emergency braking, always maintain
a safe  distance  between you  and objects
ahead.  Vehicle speeds  should  always  be
reduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longer
than  for those  without  it in  the  following
road conditions.
Since the power assistance provided by the
brake  servo  is  derived  from  the  engine,
coasting with the engine turned off or towing
of the vehicle with the engine turned off will
result in greatly increased pedal pressures
being required to stop the vehicle.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator  pedal. This can  cause the
transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

ted or has different surface height.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control
system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessively, thus helping the car to accel-
erate. It  also provides  sufficient driving  force
and steering  performance as the  car turns at
accelerated speeds.
(Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-
trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle control during braking.
These roads  should be  driven at  reduced
speeds.  The  safety   features  of  an   ABS
equipped vehicle  should not  be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or others.
SLIP Control
Limits the  drive wheels  from spinning exces-
sively during starting or while making accelerat-
ed turns on  slippery roads to avoid losing  the
driving force of the front wheels.
NOTE:
During  ABS operation,  a  slight  pulsation
may  be felt  in  the  brake pedal  when  the
brakes are  applied.  Also, a  noise may  be
heard in the engine compartment while brak-
ing. These conditions are normal and  indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-
tioning properly.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to
decelerate the car  sufficiently before entering
curves.
