2008 Dodge Charger Owner Manual - Page 285

STARTING AND OPERATING 285 allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This wheel slip control is active up to 50 mph (80 km/h). Refer to "Electronic Stability Program (ESP)" in this section for additional system information and operating instructions. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) - IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! When the ESP/TCS indicator light is illuminated continuously, the ESP is switched off. Avoid spinning one drive wheel. This may cause serious damage to the drive train. NOTE: • The Traction Control System comes on each time the ignition switch is turned ON. This will occur even if you used the ESP OFF button to turn OFF the system. • The Traction Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when in operation. WARNING! The BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of a BASequipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. 5
