WARNING:
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designedtopreventwheellock-updur-
ing sudden  braking or on  hazardous
roadsurfaces.TheABScontrolmodule
monitorsthewheelspeedandcontrols
the pressure  applied  to each  brake.
Thus, in  emergency situations  or on
slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle
controlduringbraking.
On slippery road surfaces, the traction
control system (TCS)  limits the drive
wheelsfromspinningexcessively,thus
helping the  car to accelerate.  It also
provides  sufficient driving  force  and
steering performance as the car turns
at accelerated speeds.
ABS(ESP)willnotpreventaccidents
due to improper or dangerous driv-
ingmaneuvers.Eventhoughvehicle
control  is improved  during  emer-
gency braking,  always  maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
roadconditions.

tions are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake  system is functioning
