In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for

example, repeated brake applications with the engine

OFF) the brakes will still function. The effort required to

brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required

with the power system operating.
NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-

mance braking system. The brake pads are a semi-

metallic compound, which offer superior fade resistance

for consistent operation. A compromise to using this type

of brake pad is that the brakes may produce more brake

dust and may squeal slightly under certain weather and

operating conditions (.i.e., during light brake applica-

tions) this is considered normal conditions.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic

brake control system that include Anti-Lock Brake Sys-

tem (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist

System (BAS), and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

All four of these systems work together to enhance

vehicle stability and control in various driving condi-

tions.
Also, your vehicle may be equipped with Hill Start Assist

(HSA), Ready Alert Braking, and Rain Brake Support.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased

vehicle stability and brake performance under most

braking conditions. The system automatically prevents

wheel lock, reduces stop distance, and enhances vehicle

control during stop.
When the vehicle is driven over 6 mph (10 km/h), you

may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some

related motor noises. These noises are the system per-

forming its self-check cycle to ensure that the ABS is

working properly. This self-check occurs each time the

vehicle is started and accelerated past 6 mph (10 km/h).
