BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake

systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses

normal capability, the remaining system will still func-

tion. However, there will be some loss of overall braking

effectiveness. You may notice increased pedal travel

during application, greater pedal force required to slow

or stop, and potential activation of the “Brake System

Warning Light.”
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,

repeated brake applications with the engine off) the

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 may be equipped with Trailer Sway

Control (TSC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Ready Alert

Braking (RAB), Rain Brake Support (RBS) and, if it has

four-wheel drive with the MP 3023 two-speed transfer

case, Hill Descent Control (HDC), Selec Speed Control

(SSC).
