Anti-Lock Brake System W/Traction Control System: Operation

Under normal driving conditions, ABS functions as a standard brake system. With detection of wheel lock-up, short pedal pulsations occurring in rapid succession will be felt in brake pedal. Pedal pulsation will continue until there is no longer a need for ABS function or until vehicle is stopped. Maintaining a constant force on the brake pedal provides shortest stopping distance. Traction control system automatically helps control spinning of front wheels on slippery surfaces by reducing fuel to engine, then applying brake to spinning wheel as needed. Traction control system can be operated manually by pushing TRAC OFF switch, located on instrument panel. TRAC OFF indicator light will illuminate. Pushing switch a second time turns system on. TRAC OFF indicator light will go out. When traction control is applied, SLIP indicator light blinks when system is compensating for slipping wheel.
