Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to getyour foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to vehicle in the front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes if that vehiclesuddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room upahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. Traction Control System (With 3800 Supercharged Engine) Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only it senses thatone or both of if the front wheelsare spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin. This light will come on when your traction control system is limiting wheel spin. See "Traction Control System Active Light" in the Index. 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 light will come on. See "Anti-Lock Brake System Active Light" in the Index. LOW TRAC You may feel or hear the system working, 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. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage the cruise control. (See"Cruise Control'' in the Index.) 4-9
