ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic

brake control system. This system includes Anti-Lock

Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Traction

Control System (TCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM),

Trailer Sway Control (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Brake

Lock Differential (BLD), and Electronic Stability Control

(ESC). These systems work together to enhance both

vehicle stability and control in various driving condi-

tions.

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).
