STARTING AND OPERATING 359 WARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of Anti-Lock braking capability. Installation of such equipment should be performed by qualified professionals. a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESC are in either the "Partial Off" or "Full Off" modes. Refer to "Electronic Stability Control (ESC)" in this section of this manual. All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and Brake Assist System (BAS) type and tires must be properly inflated to produce The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle's braking accurate signals for the computer. capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sensTraction Control System (TCS) ing the rate and amount of brake application and then This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to 5
