Reminds me of the TV programs that try to explain why a plane crashed because there was a computer problem when the pilot tried to fly the plane. I guess this stuff works since it's on just about every car now. I hope we don't have to find out the hard way when there is a problem. Considering how the Crossfire has so many electronic "gliches" with systems being intertwined, I hope we all don't meet the rear end of a tractor-trailer truck.
Anyway, thank you very much for your searching and explanation. That answer's my question.

I'm with you 100% on your remarks about the confusers running the modern cars.
One of the first things I did when I got mine was find an empty road, run 60 and lock the brakes up to see if that anti-lock stuff really works.
It did, make sure your shoulder belt is tight before trying it or you'll be picking your teeth out of the steering wheel - if you have any left at your (our) advanced age.
