brakes will still function. However, the effort required to

brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required

with the power system operating.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic

brake control system that includes the Anti-Lock Brake

System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake

Assist System (BAS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM),

and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). All five of these

systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and

control in various driving conditions.
Also, your vehicle is equipped with Trailer Sway Control

(TSC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Ready Alert Braking, and

Rain Brake Support.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control

under adverse braking conditions. The system controls

hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up and

help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.

WARNING!

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The
ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those re-
sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capa-
bilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
