Anti-Lock Control-Anti-Wheelspin Control: Notes

The Town Car is equipped with a 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with 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 wheelspin by modulating engine torque and applying then releasing the appropriate rear brake to restore traction when driving on slippery or loose surfaces.
