Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people

drive in spurts — heavy acceleration followed

by heavy braking — rather than keeping pace

with traffic. This is a mistake. The brakes may

not have time to cool between hard stops.

The brakes will wear out much faster if you do

a lot of heavy braking. 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 vehicle’s engine ever stops while you

are driving, brake normally but do not pump the

brakes. If you do, the pedal may get harder

to push down. If the 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.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your

vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and

Modiﬁcations on page 324.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Your vehicle has the Anti-Lock Brake System

(ABS), an advanced electronic braking system

that will help prevent a braking skid.

When you start the engine and begin to drive

away, ABS will check itself. You might hear

a momentary motor or clicking noise while this

test is going on. This is normal.

If there is a problem

with the ABS, this

warning light will stay

on. See Anti-Lock Brake

System Warning Light

on page 190.
