Remember: Anti-lock doesn'tchange the time you need to getyour foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance.If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won't have time toapply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows orstops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. Enhanced Traction System(If Equipped) Your vehicle is equipped with an Enhanced Traction System (ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. Thesystem operates only if it sensesthat one or both of the frontwheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system reduces engine power and may also upshift the transaxle to limitwheel spin. This lightwill come on when your Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin. Using Anti-Lock Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel a slight brakepedal pulsation or noticesome noise, but this is normal. When your anti-lock system is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid a braking skid, this lightwill come on. See "Low Traction Light" in the Index. LOW TRAC LOW TRAC See "Low Traction Light" in the Index. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. The Enhanced Traction System operates in all transaxle shift lever positions.But the system can upshift the transaxle only as high as the shift leverposition you've chosen, so you should use the lower gears only when necessary. See "Automatic Transaxle" in the Index.
