ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(ABS)
SC140B2-E
(Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur-
ing sudden braking or on hazardous
road surfaces. The ABS control module
monitors the wheel speed and controls
the pressure applied to each brake.
Thus, in emergency situations or on
slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle
control during braking.
NOTE:
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system (Electronic Stability
Program) is functioning properly.
During ABS (ESP) operation, a slight
pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal
when the brakes are applied. Also, a
noise may be heard in the engine com-
partment whilst braking. These condi-
tions are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system is functioning
properly.
WARNING:
ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driv-
ing maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system may be longer than for those
without it, in the following road con-
ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-
covered roads.
o Driving with tyre chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different
surface height.
These roads should be driven at
reduced speeds. The safety features
of an ABS (ESP) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could en-
danger the safety of yourself or oth-
ers.

BRAKE TRACTION CON-
TROL SYSTEM (BTCS)
C300A01O-EAT
(Not all models)
On slippery road surfaces, the traction
control system (TCS) limits the drive
wheels from spinning excessively, thus
helping the car to accelerate. It also
provides sufficient driving force and
steering performance as the car turns
at accelerated speeds.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning
excessively during starting or whilst
making accelerated turns on slippery
roads to avoid losing the driving force of
the front wheels.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be
sure to decelerate the car sufficiently
before entering curves.
