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 and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the
system working, or you may notice some noise, but this
is normal.
Enhanced Traction System (If
Equipped)
If your vehicle has the optional four-speed automatic
transaxle,
it
also has an Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
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 reduces
engine power and may also upshift the transaxle to limit
wheel spin.
LOW
TRAC
This light will come on
when your Enhanced
Traction System is limiting
wheel spin. See "Enhanced
Traction System Active
Light" in the Index. You
may feel or hear the system
working, but this
is
normal.
The Enhanced Traction System operates in all transaxle
shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the
transaxle only as high as the shift lever position you've
chosen,
so you should use the
lower
gears
only when
necessary. See "Automatic Transaxle" in the Index.
