That's basically it. And since there is no pedal pulsing for driver feedback when the ABS is active, Ford has the ABS/TC (car weaving) dash light blink instead.

However, the Owners Manual should not also state for this dash light "Traction control active (if equipped)" if no hybrid is ever equipped with TC.
