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 “pumps”

the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent

wheel lock-up.

The Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) prevents

the rear wheels from over-braking and provides greater

control of available braking forces applied to the rear

axle.
When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (11 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 7 mph (11 km/h).
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or

stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-

clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose

debris, or panic stops.
