WARNING! (Continued)

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 which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.

Hydraulic Brake Assist — 2500/3500 Models Only
(Except Power Wagon)

The brake system power assist is provided by a hydro-
boost unit which shares fluid with the power steering
system. You may experience some clicking or hissing
noises from the hydro-boost system during hard braking
conditions.

NOTE:

Under cold temperatures, pedal effort will be

higher than normal until the power steering fluid reaches
operating temperature.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic
brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist
System (BAS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Hill
Start Assist (HSA), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and
Trailer Sway Control (TSC). All of the systems work
together to enhance vehicle stability and control in vari-
ous driving conditions, and are commonly referred to as
ESC.
