Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to get your 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'thave time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System Your vehicle has a traction control system calledASR that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions'. The system operates only it if senses that the rear wheels are spinning too much or are beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power (by closing the throttle and managing engine spark) to limit wheel spin. This light will comeon when the ASR systemis limiting wheel spin.See "ASR System Active Light" in the Index.You may feel or hear the system working, but thisis normal. Using Anti-Lock Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear a motor or clicking noid and feel the brake pedal move a little during a stop, 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. ASR ACTIVE ABS ACTIVE If your vehicle is in cruise control when the ASR system begins to limit wheel spin, thecruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. (See "Cruise Control" inthe Index.) J
