334 STARTING AND OPERATING Control (ESC). All systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions and are commonly referred to as ESC. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) WARNING! (Continued) ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer to "Anti-Lock Brake System" in "Starting and Traction Control System (TCS) Operating" for further information. This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake WARNING! pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin (Continued) across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the
