Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the timeyou 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't have 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. Traction Control System (TCS) Your vehicle has a traction control system called TCS that limits wheel spin. This isespecially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates onlyif it senses that the rear wheels are spinning too much or are beginning to losetraction. 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. The TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE message will come on when the TCS system is limiting wheel spin. See "TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE Message" in the Index. You may feel or hear system working, but this the is 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 noise 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, the ABS ACTIVE message will come on. See "ABS ACTIVE Message" in the Index. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS system begins to limitwheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. (See "Cruise Control" in the Index.) 4-9
