You may hear a motor or clicking noise during a hard stop, but this is normal. Traction Control System (Option) Your vehicle may have a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one orboth of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When thishappens, the system works thefront brakes and reduces engine power (by shutting off fuel injectors and managing engine spark) to limit wheel spin. You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updateson wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to get your foot upto the brake pedal. If you get too You may feel thesystem working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage.
