If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic

following distances, you will eliminate a lot of

unnecessary braking. That means better braking and

longer brake life.

If your engine ever stops while you are driving, brake

normally but do not pump your brakes. If you do,

the pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine

stops, you will still have some power brake assist.

But you will use it when you brake. Once the power

assist is used up, it may take longer to stop and

the brake pedal will be harder to push.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes. ABS is an

advanced electronic braking system that will help

prevent a braking skid.

If your vehicle has anti-lock

brakes, this warning light

on the instrument panel will

come on brieﬂy when

you start your vehicle.

When you start your engine, or when you begin to drive

away, your anti-lock brake system will check itself.

You may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while

this test is going on, and you may even notice that your

brake pedal moves or pulses a little. This is normal.

If there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the

anti-lock brake system warning light will stay on. See

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on page 3-31

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.

Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam

on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what

happens with ABS:
