9-24 Driving and Operating
pump or motor operating and feel
the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.
Brake Force Distribution
During braking while driving through
turns, the system optimizes the
distribution of force to each of the
four wheels depending on the radius
of the turn.
Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull up
on the parking brake handle. It is
not necessary to press the release
button in while applying the parking
brake. If the ignition is in the ON/
RUN position, the brake system
warning light will come on. See
Brake System Warning Light on
page 5-14.
{Warning
.Be sure the parking brake is
fully released before driving.
Failure to do so can cause
brake failure and lead to an
accident.
.Do not release the parking
brake from outside the
vehicle.
.Do not use the shift lever in
place of the parking brake.
When parking, be sure the
parking brake is fully
engaged.
.Do not leave children
unattended in a vehicle. They
could release the parking
brake and cause an accident.
To release the parking brake:
1. Shift the transmission to P (Park). Hold the brake
pedal down.

pulsation in the brake pedal may be
felt. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.
Adding accessories can affect the
vehicle performance. See
Accessories and Modifications on
page 10-3.
{Warning
.The Traction Control System
(TCS) and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system are
designed to help the driver
maintain stability but do not
prevent accidents due to
abrupt steering operation at
high speeds or by careless or
dangerous driving
techniques. Reduce vehicle
speed and be especially
careful when driving and
cornering on slippery
surfaces and always drive
carefully.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not modify the vehicle’ s
suspension. If suspension
parts such as shock
absorbers, struts, springs,
stabilizer bars, bushings, and
wheels are not recommended
for your vehicle or are
extremely deteriorated, the
TCS and ESC systems may
not operate properly. This
could adversely affect vehicle
handling performance, and
the
dindicator may flash or
the
dindicator light may
illuminate.
.If brake related parts such as
brake pads, rotors, and
calipers are not
recommended or are
extremely deteriorated, the
TCS and ESC systems may
