WARNING!

(Continued)

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-

ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.

The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.

The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.

All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and

type and tires must be properly inflated to produce

accurate signals for the computer.

Traction Control System (TCS)

This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each

driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is

applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is

reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability.
A feature of the TCS system, Brake Limited Differential

(BLD), controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one

wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other,

the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel.

This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the

wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active

even if TCS and ESC are in the “Sport Mode (Partial Off)”

or ЉTrack Mode (Full Off)Љ mode. Refer to “Electronic

Stability Control (ESC)” in this section for more informa-

tion.
