The Braking System, Traction Control System

If the ABS indicator and the brake

system indicator come on together,

and the parking brake is fully
released, the front-to-rear braking
distribution system may also shut
down.

Test your brakes as instructed on

. If the brakes feel normal,

drive slowly and have your vehicle

repaired by your dealer as soon as
possible. Avoid sudden hard braking

which could cause the rear wheels to

lock up and possibly lead to a loss of
control.

On EX model

The TCS indicator will come on

along with the ABS indicator.

Traction Control System

On EX model

Your Honda is equipped with a

Traction Control System (TCS) to

assist you in maintaining traction

while driving slowly on loose or

slippery surfaces. The TCS assists
only in low-speed, low-traction
conditions; up to approximately 18

mph (30km/h).

The TCS monitors the speed of all

four wheels. When it senses a front
wheel losing traction, it applies
braking to that wheel. The TCS
indicator flashes when this occurs.

Driving with TCS requires no special

skills or technique. The TCS does

not control your vehicle's whole
braking system and cannot prevent

skidding if you enter a corner too

fast. It is still your responsibility to

drive at reasonable speeds and to

leave a sufficient margin of safety.
