Warning Light
This warning light should come
on briefly when the vehicle is
turned on. If the light does not
come on, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If the light comes on while
driving, safely stop as soon as
it is possible and turn off the
vehicle. Then turn on the
vehicle again to reset the
system.
If the ABS warning light stays
on, or comes on again while
driving, the vehicle needs
service. A chime may also
sound when the light stays on.If the ABS warning light is the
only light on, the vehicle has
regular brakes, but ABS is not
functioning.
If both the ABS warning light
and the brake system warning
light are on, ABS is not
functioning and there is a
problem with the regular
brakes. See your dealer for
service.

198 Driving and Operating
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations
when steering around a
problem may be more
effective than braking.
.Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to
turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can
drop off the edge of a road
onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing
in the way, steer the vehicle
so that it straddles the edge
of the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn,
until the right front tire
contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the
roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids
that correspond to the
vehicle's three control
systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are
not rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering
in a curve causes tires to slip
and lose cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too
much throttle causes the
driving wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most
skids by taking reasonable
care suited to existing
conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions.
But skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide,
follow these suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal and steer
the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for
a second skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your
driving according to weather
conditions. Stopping
distance can be longer and
vehicle control can be
affected when traction is
reduced by water, snow, ice,
gravel, or other material on

Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or IceCaution
To avoid damage to the
wheels and brake
components, always clear
snow and ice from inside the
wheels and underneath the
vehicle before driving.
Snow or ice between the tires
and the road creates less
traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at
about 0°C (32°F) when
freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in
freezing rain until roads can be
treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Turn off cruise control.
.If enabled, turn off
One-Pedal Driving. See
One-Pedal Driving 0214
.If turned off, turn on the
Traction Control and the
Electronic Stability Control systems. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control
0221.
.Select the Snow/Ice driver
mode. See Driver Mode
Control 0223.
.Accelerate gently.
Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin
and makes the surface under
the tires slick.
.Allow greater following
distance and watch for
slippery spots. Icy patches
can occur on otherwise clear
roads in shaded areas. The
surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy
when the surrounding roads
are clear. Avoid sudden
steering maneuvers and
braking while on ice.
.Antilock Brake System (ABS)
improves vehicle stability
during hard stops, but the
brakes should be applied
sooner than when on dry
pavement. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) 0216.
Blizzard Conditions
If you become stranded or
cannot continue driving due to
winter storm conditions, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and
signal for help. Stay with the
vehicle unless there is help
nearby.
If you stay in your vehicle
while waiting, signal for help
and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the
hazard warning flashers and
tying a red cloth to an outside
mirror.
To conserve battery energy
while waiting for help, run the
vehicle for only short periods
as needed to warm the vehicle
and then shut the vehicle off
and partially close the window.
Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips
to help conserve battery
energy in cold weather, see
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency 0193.

216 Driving and Operating
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with
electric brake boost have
hydraulic brake circuits that
are electronically controlled
when the brake pedal is
applied during normal
operation. The system
performs routine tests and
turns off within a few minutes
after the vehicle is turned off.
Noise may be heard during
this time. If the brake pedal is
pressed during the tests or
when the electric brake boost
system is off, a noticeable
change in pedal force and
travel may be felt. This is
normal.
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) helps prevent a braking
skid and maintain steering
while braking hard.
ABS performs a system check
when the vehicle is first driven.
A momentary motor or clicking
noise may be heard while this
test is going on, and the brake
pedal may move slightly. This
is normal.
If there is a problem with ABS,
this warning light stays on.
See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light0117. ABS does not change the time
needed to get a foot on the
brake pedal and does not
always decrease stopping
distance. If you get too close
to the vehicle ahead, there will
not be enough time to apply
the brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops.
Always leave enough room
ahead to stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just
hold the brake pedal down
firmly. Hearing or feeling ABS
operate is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows steering and
braking at the same time. In
many emergencies, steering
can help even more than
braking.
