WARNING!

(Continued)

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.

ABS is designed to function with the OEM tires. Modifica-

tion may result in degraded ABS performance.

Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” will turn on

when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN mode and

may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” remains on or

comes on while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock

portion of the brake system is not functioning and that

service is required. However, the conventional brake sys-

tem will continue to operate normally if the “Anti-Lock

Brake Warning Light” is on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on, the brake

system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warn-

ing Light” does not come on when the ignition is turned to

the ON/RUN mode, have the light repaired as soon as

possible.

Electronic Brake Control System

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced Electronic

Brake Control system (EBC). This system includes Elec-

tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist System

(BAS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Traction Control System

(TCS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Electronic

Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems work together to

enhance both vehicle stability and control in various driv-

ing conditions.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with Trailer Sway

Control (TSC) and Hill Descent Control (HDC).

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)

This function manages the distribution of the braking

torque between the front and rear axles by limiting braking

pressure to the rear axle. This is done to prevent overslip of

the rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and to prevent

the rear axle from entering ABS before the front axle.
