Driving and Operating 9-252. Pull the parking brake handle up
until you can press the release
button.
3. Hold the release button in as
you move the brake handle all
the way down.
{ CautionDriving with the parking brake on
can overheat the brake system
and cause premature wear or
damage to brake system parts.
Make sure that the parking brake
is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
Parking Brake Break-in
Break-in the brake shoes whenever
the effect of the parking brake is
weakened or whenever the brake
shoes and/or drums are replaced, in
order to assure the best brake
performance. This procedure can be
performed at the dealer. Ride Control Systems Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control System Operation The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) and Electronic
Stability Control, an electronic
stability control system. These
systems use various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle
motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems help to
perform the following functions: .
Control brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive
wheel so power is transferred to
a non – slipping drive wheel on
the same axle. .
Control brake pressure and
engine output to reduce drive
wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function). .
Control brake pressure at
individual wheels and engine
output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the
following conditions:
‐ Understeer (vehicle tends to
not follow the steered path
despite increased steering
input)
‐ Oversteer (vehicle tends to
spin due to certain road or
driving conditions)
TCS and Electronic Stability Control
can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but cannot
prevent loss of vehicle control in all
driving situations.
When the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems operate,
the
d indicator in the instrument
cluster flashes to note the following: .
The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some
action is required to help keep
the vehicle on the steered path.

9-26 Driving and Operating .
You may feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal and hear a noise or
vibration from under the hood.
This is normal and indicates that
the traction control system is
working properly. .
Adjust your speed and driving to
the road conditions.
See Traction Control System (TCS)/
Electronic Stability Control Light on
page 5-16 and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) Off Light on
page 5-16 .
If a malfunction occurs in the
systems, the
d indicator comes on
in the instrument cluster. The TCS
and Electronic Stability Control
systems automatically turn off when
the indicator light is on. Turning the Systems Off
and On
The TCS/Electronic Stability Control
button is on the instrument panel, to
the left of the steering wheel.
{ CautionDo not repeatedly brake or
accelerate heavily when TCS is
off. The vehicle driveline could be
damaged.
To turn off TCS and Electronic
Stability Control, press and release
the
g button. The Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) Off Light
gcomes on and stays on in the
instrument cluster. To turn TCS and Electronic Stability
Control on again, press and release
the
g button. The Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) Off Light
gdisplayed in the instrument cluster
will turn off.
When the TCS/Electronic Stability
Control button is used to turn off the
systems, the TCS system still
operates to prevent one drive wheel
from slipping by transferring power
to a non – slipping drive wheel. The
d indicator flashes if this occurs. All
other functions are off and the
d indicator will not flash.
The TCS and Electronic Stability
Control systems are automatically
reset to on when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position then
back to the ON position.
The systems have a built in
diagnostic feature that test the
systems each time the engine is
started and the vehicle moved
forward or in reverse at a slow
speed. When the test occurs a clunk

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
d indicator may flash or
the
d indicator 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
(Continued) Warning (Continued) not operate properly and the
d indicator light may
illuminate. .
If engine control related parts
are not recommended or are
extremely deteriorated, the
d indicator light may illuminate. .
When driving on extremely
inclined surfaces such as
higher banked corners, the
TCS and ESC systems may
not operate properly and the
d indicator may flash or the
d indicator light may
illuminate. Do not drive on
these types of roads. .
When driving on an unstable
surface such as a turntable,
ferry, elevator, or ramp, the
d indicator may flash or the

Restart the engine after
driving onto a stable surface. .
If wheels or tires other than
the recommended ones are
used, the TCS and ESC
systems may not operate
properly and the
d indicator
may flash or the
d indicator
light may illuminate. .
The TCS and ESC systems
are not a substitute for winter
tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road. Cruise Control
{ WarningCruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If equipped with cruise control, a
speed of about 48 km/h (30 mph) or
more can be maintained without
keeping your foot on the
accelerator. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
48 km/h (30 mph).
If the brakes are applied, cruise
control disengages. CRUISE ON/OFF: Press to turn
cruise control on or off. The white
indicator comes on in the instrument
cluster when cruise control is
turned on.

Vehicle Care 10-19
Brakes Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads
are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound can come and go or be
heard all the time when the vehicle
is moving, except when applying the
brake pedal firmly.
{ WarningThe brake wear warning sound
means that soon the brakes will
not work well. That could lead to
a crash. When the brake wear
warning sound is heard, have the
vehicle serviced.
{ Caution
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly
brake repair. Some driving conditions or climates
can cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean
something is wrong with the brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are
necessary to help prevent brake
pulsation. When tires are rotated,
inspect brake pads for wear and
evenly tighten wheel nuts in the
proper sequence to torque
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications on page 12-2 .
Brake pads should be replaced as
complete sets.
Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal
does not return to normal height,
or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign
that brake service may be required.
Replacing Brake System Parts
Always replace brake system parts
with new, approved replacement
parts. If this is not done, the brakes
may not work properly. The braking performance expected can change
in many other ways if the wrong
replacement brake parts are
installed or parts are improperly
installed.
Brake Fluid
The brake master cylinder reservoir
is filled with DOT 3 brake fluid. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 10-7 for the location of the
reservoir.
There are only two reasons why the
brake fluid level in the reservoir
might go down: .
The brake fluid level goes down
because of normal brake lining
wear. When new linings are
installed, the fluid level goes
back up.

information refer to the tire
manufacturer.
{ Warning .
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous. .
Overloading the tires can
cause overheating as a
result of too much flexing.
There could be a blowout
(Continued) Warning (Continued)
and a serious crash. See
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9-9 . .
Underinflated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the
recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires
are cold. .
Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when
hitting a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
