Brake assist

The brake assist system provides full braking force during panic braking

situations. It detects a rapid application of the brake pedal and uses the

ABS system to achieve maximum braking pressure. Once a panic brake

application is detected, the system will remain activated as long as the

brake pedal is pressed or ABS is engaged. The system is deactivated by

either releasing the brake pedal or coming to a complete stop. When the

system activates, noise from the ABS pump motor and brake pedal

pulsation may be observed; this is normal.

ABS warning lamp

The ABS lamp in the instrument

cluster momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is turned on. If

the light does not illuminate during

start up, remains on or flashes, the

ABS may be disabled and may need to be serviced.

Even when the ABS is disabled,

normal braking is still effective. (If

your BRAKE warning lamp

illuminates with the parking brake

released, have your brake system

serviced immediately.)

Brake over accelerator

This vehicle is equipped with a brake over accelerator feature. In the

event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, applying steady

and firm pressure to the brake pedal will both slow the vehicle and

reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes

and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the engine off, shift to P

(Park) and apply the parking brake, and then inspect the accelerator

pedal for any interferences. If none are found and the condition persists,

have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
