If there is no curb or if it is required by other
conditions to keep the car from rolling, block
thewheels.
Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most likely to happen when there is an accu-
mulation of snow or ice around or near the
rearbrakesorifthebrakesarewet.Ifthereis
a risk that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you put the

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
topreventwheellock-upduringsuddenbraking
oronhazardousroadsurfaces.TheABScontrol
module monitors the wheel speed and controls
the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergencysituationsoronslickroads, ABSwill
increase vehicle control during braking.
During these conditions the vehicle should
be driven at reduced speeds. The safety fea-

NOTE:

engine compartment while braking. These
conditions are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system is functioning prop-
erly.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
(If Installed)
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
properordangerousdrivingmaneuvers.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.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause the
transmission to overheat. Always use the
brake pedal or parking brake.

The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longer

On slippery road surfaces, the traction control
system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin-
