Electronic Brake Control System; Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) - Dodge 2009 Charger Owner's Manual

296 STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING! (Continued)
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-
ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that af-
forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro-
planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver
can prevent accidents.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner that could jeopardize the user's safety or
the safety of others.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and
type and tires must be properly inflated to produce
accurate signals for the computer.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic
brake control system that include ABS (Anti-Lock Brake
System), TCS (Traction Control System), BAS (Brake
Assist System), and ESP (Electronic Stability Program).
All four of these systems work together to enhance
vehicle stability and control in various driving condi-
tions.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control
under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydrau-
lic brake pressure. This prevents wheel lock-up to help
avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
Refer to "Anti-Lock Brake System" in Section 5 of this
manual.
