A car with ABS may require a longer
distance to stop on loose or uneven
surfaces than an equivalent car
without Anti-lock. The ABS cannot
make up for road conditions or bad
judgment. It is still your responsibil-
ity to drive at reasonable speeds for
weather and traffic conditions, and to
leave a margin of safety.
For a technical description of the
ABS hardware, refer to page 230.

Traction Control System
Your Acura is equipped with a Trac-
tion Control System (TCS). TCS
assists you in maintaining traction
while accelerating on slippery sur-
faces. It does this by regulating the
engine's power output when it senses
either of the drive wheels starting to
spin. This increases the car's traction
and directional stability on loose or
slippery road surfaces.
Driving with TCS requires no special
skills or technique. The TCS does not
affect braking, and cannot prevent
skidding if you enter a corner too
fast. It is still your responsibility to
drive at reasonable speeds and to
leave a sufficient margin of safety.
When driving on a loose or slippery
road surface, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the
accelerator in the same way it does at
other times. This is a sign the TCS is
active. You will see the TCS indicator
light flash.

You should still install winter tires on
your car during the winter. Exercise
the same caution in winter driving as
you would if your car was not
equipped with TCS.
Driving with the folding spare tire
(see page 204) installed may activate
the TCS. You may want to turn the
system off under this condition.
