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. Your brakes may not have time to cool between
hard stops. Your 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 engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t 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
Brakes
(Option)
Your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes (ABS).
ABS
is
an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
ABS
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 a little. This is normal.
If
there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system,
the anti-lock brake system warning light will stay on or
flash.
See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index.
