Anti-Lock Control - Anti-Wheel Spin Control: Notes

The Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis are equipped with a 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with optional traction control (TC).

The anti-lock brake system:

• Prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating brake pressure during an emergency stop.
• Allows the driver to maintain steering control and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance under most conditions.

The traction control system, if equipped, controls wheel spin by modulating engine torque and applying then releasing the appropriate rear brake to restore traction when driving on slippery or loose surfaces.
