Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to get your foot up to the brakepedal or always decrease stopping distance.If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won't have time toapply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. LOW TRAC This light will come on when your Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin. See "Enhanced Traction System Active Light" in the Index. Using Anti-Lock Don't pump the brakes. Justhold the brake pedal down firmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel a slight brakepedal pulsation or notice somenoise, but this is normal. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is norma Enhanced Traction System If your vehicle has the optional four-speed automatic transaxle, it alsohas an Enhanced Traction System (ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one both of the front wheels are spinning or or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system reduces enginepower and may also upshift the transaxle to limit wheel spin. The Enhanced Traction System operates in all transaxle shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the transaxle only as high as the shift lever position you've chosen, so you should use the lower gears only when necessary. See "Automatic Transaxle" in the Index. 3 1 When the system is ETS OFF on and the parking brake is fully released, this warning light will come on to let you know if there's a problem with the system. See "Enhanced Traction System Warning Light'' in the Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. 4-9
