Electronic Brake Control System; Anti-Lock Brake System - Jeep 2014 Cherokee Owner's Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• Driving a vehicle with the "Brake Warning Light"
on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance or vehicle stability during braking
may occur. It will take you longer to stop the
vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to control.
You could have a collision. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic
brake control system commonly referred to as ESC. This
system includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Traction
Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill
Start Assist (HSA), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and control in
various driving conditions.
Your vehicle is also equipped with Trailer Sway Control
(TSC), Ready Alert Braking (RAB), Rain Brake Support
(RBS), and Dynamic Steering Torque (DST). Further, all
vehicles equipped with a two-speed power transfer unit
have Hill Descent Control (HDC) and some vehicles may
also be equipped with Selec Speed Control (SSC).

Anti-Lock Brake System

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to aid the
driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse
braking conditions. The system operates with a separate
computer to modulate hydraulic pressure, to prevent
wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery
surfaces.
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.
