(ABS)

The 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 to help avoid skidding

on slippery surfaces.
The system's pump motor runs during an ABS stop

to provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump

motor makes a low humming noise during

operation, which is normal.
The ABS includes an amber ABS Warning Light.

When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not

functioning. The system reverts to standard

non-Anti-Lock Brakes. Turning the ignition OFF and

ON again may reset the ABS if the fault detected

was only momentary.

When you are in a severe braking condition

involving the use of the ABS, you will experience

some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a stop.

This is the result of the system reverting to the

base brake system.
Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied by a

pulsing sensation. You may also hear a clicking

noise. These occurrences are normal and indicate

that the system is functioning properly.

WARNING!



The ABS contains sophisticated electronic

equipment that may be susceptible to interfer

-

ence caused by improperly installed or high

output radio transmitting equipment. This

interference can cause possible loss of

anti-lock braking capability. Installation of

such equipment should be performed by qual

-

ified professionals.



Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish

their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.

Pumping makes the stopping distance longer.

Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you

need to slow down or stop.



The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of

physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it

increase braking or steering efficiency beyond

that afforded by the condition of the vehicle

brakes and tires or the traction afforded.



The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns,

following another vehicle too closely, or hydro

-

planing.



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.

(EBC)

YSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced

Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system that

includes the Brake Assist System (BAS), Traction

Control System (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA),

Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll

Mitigation (ERM) and Trailer Sway Control (TSC). All

systems work together to enhance vehicle stability

and control in various driving conditions and are

commonly referred to as ESC.

Brake Assist System (BAS)

BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking

capability during emergency braking maneuvers.

The system detects an emergency braking

situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake

application and then applies optimum pressure to

the brakes. This can help reduce braking

distances. The BAS complements the Anti-Lock

Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very

quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To

receive the benefit of the system, you must apply

continuous braking pressure during the stopping

sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not

reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no

longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released,

the BAS is deactivated.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC enhances directional control and stability of

the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC

corrects for over/under steering of the vehicle by

applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to

counteract the above conditions. Engine power

may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain

the desired path.



Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning more

than appropriate for the steering wheel position.



Understeer — when the vehicle is turning less

than appropriate for the steering wheel position.

ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the

vehicle path intended by the driver and compares

it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual

path does not match the intended path, ESC

applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to

assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer

condition.

WARNING!

The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent

the natural laws of physics from acting on the

vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded

by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot

prevent collisions, including those resulting from

excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery

surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of a

BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in

a reckless or dangerous manner, which could

jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of

others.

WARNING!



Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot

prevent the natural laws of physics from

acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the

traction afforded by prevailing road condi

-

tions. ESC cannot prevent accidents, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns,

driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro

-

planing. ESC also cannot prevent accidents

resulting from loss of vehicle control due to

inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can

prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESC

equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a

reckless or dangerous manner which could

jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of

others.

ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

And ESC OFF Indicator Light

The ESC Activation/Malfunction

Indicator Light in the instrument cluster

will come on when the ignition switch is

turned to the MAR (ON/RUN) position for

four seconds. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction

Indicator Light comes on continuously with the

engine running, a malfunction has been detected

in the ESC system. If this light remains on after

several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been

driven several miles (km) at speeds greater than

30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as

soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed

and corrected.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

(located in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as

soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system

becomes active. The ESC Activation/Malfunction

Indicator Light also flashes when TCS is active. If

the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the

accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.

Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the

prevailing road conditions.

The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates

the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is

in a reduced mode.

NOTE:



The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

and the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on

momentarily each time the ignition switch

placed in the ON position.

Each time the ignition is placed in the ON posi

-

tion, the ESC system will be on even if it was

turned off previously.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by

monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and

the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines

that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle

and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to potentially

cause wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate

brake and may also reduce engine power to lessen

the chance that wheel lift will occur.
ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift

occurring during severe or evasive driving

maneuvers; it cannot prevent wheel lift due to

other factors, such as road conditions, leaving the

roadway, or striking objects or other vehicles.



Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly

maintain your vehicle, may change the

handling characteristics of your vehicle, and

may negatively affect the performance of the

ESC system. Changes to the steering system,

suspension, braking system, tire type and size

or wheel size may adversely affect ESC perfor

-

mance. Improperly inflated and unevenly worn

tires may also degrade ESC performance. Any

vehicle modification or poor vehicle mainte

-

nance that reduces the effectiveness of the

ESC system can increase the risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal

injury and death.

WARNING!

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road

conditions and driving conditions, influence the

chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM

cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers,

especially those that involve leaving the roadway

or striking objects or other vehicles. The

capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous

manner which could jeopardize the user's safety

or the safety of others.

SAFETY

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

HSA is designed to assist the driver when starting

a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain

the level of brake pressure the driver applied for a

short period of time after the driver takes their foot

off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply

the throttle during this short period of time, the

system will release brake pressure and the vehicle

will roll down the hill. The system will release brake

pressure in proportion to the amount of throttle

applied as the vehicle starts to move in the

intended direction of travel.

HSA ACTIVATION CRITERIA

The following criteria must be met in order for HSA

to activate:



The vehicle must be stopped.



The vehicle must be on a 5% (approximate)

grade or greater hill.



Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction

(i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear;

vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE gear).

HSA will work in REVERSE and all forward gears

when the activation criteria have been met. The

system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in

NEUTRAL or PARK.

Traction Control System (TCS)

TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of

the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake

pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and

engine power is reduced to provide enhanced

acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS

system, Brake Limited Differential (BLD) functions

similarly to a limited slip differential and controls

the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on

a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the

system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel.

This will allow more engine torque to be applied to

the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains

active even if TCS and ESC are in the “Partial Off”

mode

Ú

page 132.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) — If Equipped

TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an

excessively swaying trailer and will take the

appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway.

The system may reduce engine power and apply

the brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to counteract

the sway of the trailer.

NOTE:

TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always

use caution when towing a trailer and follow the

trailer tongue weight recommendations

Ú

page 68.

When TSC is functioning, the ESC Activation/

Malfunction Indicator Light will flash, the engine

power may be reduced and you may feel the

brakes being applied to individual wheels to

attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is

disabled when the ESC system is in the “Partial

Off” mode.

WARNING!

There may be situations on minor hills with a

loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer, when

the system will not activate and slight rolling may

occur. This could cause a collision with another

vehicle or object. Always remember the driver is

responsible for braking the vehicle.

WARNING!

If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle

down, stop at the nearest safe location, and

adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.

YSTEM

(TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will

warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the

vehicle recommended cold placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by

about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This

means that when the outside temperature

decreases, the tire pressure will decrease. Tire

pressure should always be set based on cold

inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire

pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for

at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile

(1.6 km) after a three hour period. The cold tire

inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum

inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall.

The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle

is driven — this is normal and there should be no

adjustment for this increased pressure.
See

Ú

page 217 on how to properly inflate the

vehicle’s tires.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure

if the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure

warning limit for any reason, including low

temperature effects and natural pressure loss

through the tire.

The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low

tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and

will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above

the recommended cold placard pressure. Once the

low tire pressure warning (TPMS Warning Light)

illuminates, you must increase the tire pressure to

the recommended cold placard pressure in order

for the TPMS Warning Light to turn off. The system

will automatically update and the TPMS Warning

Light will turn off once the system receives the

updated tire pressures. The vehicle may need to be

driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph

(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this

information.

NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need

to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in

order to turn the TPMS Warning Light off.
For example, your vehicle may have a

recommended cold (parked for more than three

hours) placard pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the

ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the

measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a

temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the

tire pressure to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa).

This tire pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn

on the TPMS Warning Light. Driving the vehicle

may cause the tire pressure to rise to

approximately 27 psi (186 kPa), but the TPMS

Warning Light will still be on. In this situation, the

TPMS Warning Light will turn off only after the tires

are inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold

placard pressure value.

CAUTION!



The TPMS has been optimized for the original

equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures

and warning have been established for the tire

size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable

system operation or sensor damage may

result when using replacement equipment

that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor

damage.



Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

sensor to become inoperable. After using an

aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended

that you take your vehicle to an authorized

dealership to have your sensor function

checked.



After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure

always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will

prevent moisture and dirt from entering the

valve stem, which could damage the TPMS

sensor.
