242 Driving and Operating
If driving safely on a wet road and itbecomes necessary to slam on thebrakes and continue braking toavoid a sudden obstacle, acomputer senses the wheels areslowing down. If one of the wheelsis about to stop rolling, the computerwill separately work the brakes ateach wheel.
ABS can change the brake pressureto each wheel, as required, fasterthan any driver could. This can helpyou steer around the obstacle whilebraking hard.
As the brakes are applied, thecomputer keeps receiving updateson wheel speed and controlsbraking pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not changethe time needed to get a foot up tothe brake pedal or always decreasestopping distance. If you get tooclose to the vehicle in front of you,there will not be enough time toapply the brakes if that vehiclesuddenly slows or stops. Alwaysleave enough room up ahead tostop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just holdthe brake pedal down firmly and letABS work. You may hear the ABSpump or motor operating and feelthe brake pedal pulsate. This isnormal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brakeat the same time. In manyemergencies, steering can helpmore than even the very bestbraking.
Electric Parking Brake
The vehicle has an Electric ParkingBrake (EPB). The switch is on thecenter console. The EPB canalways be activated, even if theignition is off. To prevent drainingthe battery, avoid repeated cycles ofthe EPB when the engine is notrunning.
The system has a red parking brakestatus light and an amber parkingbrake warning light. SeeElectricParking Brake Light0103andService Electric Parking Brake Light0103.Therearealsoparkingbrake-related Driver InformationCenter (DIC) messages. SeeBrakeSystem Messages011 3.Incaseofinsufficient electrical power, the EPBcannot be applied or released.
Before leaving the vehicle, checkthe red parking brake status light toensure that the parking brake isapplied.
EPB Apply
To a p p l y t h e E P B :
1. Be sure the vehicle is at acomplete stop.

Launch Control (ManualTransmissions Only)
This feature is available in TrackDriver Mode, and allows the vehicleto reach high levels of accelerationin a straight line. Launch Controladjusts tire slip during standing startlaunches. Use this feature duringclosed course race events whereconsistent zero to sixty and quartermile times are desirable.
Launch Control is onlyavailable when:
.Track Driver Mode is selected.
.The vehicle is not moving.
.The steering wheel is pointingstraight.
.The clutch pedal is pressed andthe vehicle is in 1 (First) gear.
.The accelerator pedal is rapidlyapplied to wide open throttle.
This feature initially limits enginespeed as the accelerator pedal israpidly pressed to wide openthrottle. A smooth, quick release ofthe clutch pedal, while maintainingthe fully pressed accelerator pedal,will manage wheel slip. SeeManualTr a n s m i s s i o n0240.
