The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure

faster than any driver could. The computer is

programmed to make the most of available tire and road

conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle

while braking hard.

As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates

on wheel speed and controls braking pressure

accordingly.

Remember: Anti-lock does not change the time you

need to 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 will not have time to

apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows

or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop,

even though you have anti-lock brakes.

Using Anti-Lock

Do not 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 a situation

that requires hard braking.

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

same time. However, if you do not have anti-lock, your

ﬁrst reaction — to 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 cannot

respond to 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 do not 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.
