Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you

need

get your foot up to the brake pedal or always

decrease stopping distance. If you get

too

close to

the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time

apply

your brakes

that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.

Always leave enough room up ahead

stop, even

though you have anti-lock brakes.

Using Anti-Lock

Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down

firmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel a

slight brake pedal pulsation or notice some noise, but

this is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

At some time, nearly every driver gets into

situation

that requires hard braking.

If you have anti-lock, you can steer and brake at

the same time. However,

you don’t have anti-lock,

your first reaction

hit the brake pedal hard

and hold it down

may be the wrong thing to do.

Your wheels can stop rolling. Once they do, the vehicle

can’t respond

your steering. Momentum will carry

it in whatever direction it was headed when the wheels

stopped rolling. That could be

off the road, into the

very thing you were trying to avoid, or into traffic.

If you don’t have anti-lock, use a “squeeze” braking

technique. This will give you maximum braking while

maintaining steering control.

You can do this by pushing

on the brake pedal with steadily increasing pressure.

In an emergency, you will probably want

squeeze the

brakes hard without locking the wheels. If you hear or

feel the wheels sliding, ease off the brake pedal.

This will help you retain steering control. If you

do have

anti-lock, it’s different. See “Anti-Lock Brakes.’’

In many emergencies, steering can help you more than

even the very best braking.
