Full - Range Traction Control System; (With 3800 Supercharged V6 Engine); Braking In Emergencies - Buick 2002 Regal Owner's Manual

-
Remember: Anti lock doesn't change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
-
anti lock brakes.
-
Using Anti Lock
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
-
firmly and let anti lock work for you. You may feel a
slight brake pedal pulsation or notice some noise, but
this is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

-
With anti lock, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
Full Range Traction Control System
-

(With 3800 Supercharged V6 Engine)

Your vehicle has a Full Range Traction Control System
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system works the front brakes and reduces engine power
to limit wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
The low traction light
will come on when the
traction control system
is limiting wheel spin.
See "Low Traction
Light" in the Index.
