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.

During ABS (ESP) operation, a slight
pulsationmaybefeltinthebrakepedal

tions are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system is functioning
properly.
These roads should be driven at
