Even when the ABS is disabled,

your BRAKE warning lamp
illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system
serviced immediately.)

BRAKE
The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle.
However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop
your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the
rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the
handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
Park brake warning chime
Sounds when the parking brake is set, the engine is running, the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) , and the transaxle is not in P
(
Park) or N (Neutral) . The chime will shut off when the parking brake is
disengaged.
TRACTION CONTROLி (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Traction Control system. This
system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle,
especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or ice-covered roads
and gravel roads. The system will allow your vehicle to make better use
of available traction in these conditions.
