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 (ABS)
Your vehicle has an advanced electronic braking system that can help you
keep it under control. When
you
start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise. This is the
ABS
system
testing itself.
Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road
is
wet. You're driving safely.
Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with
ABS.
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is
about to stop rolling,
the
computer will separately work the brakes at each
front wheel and at the rear wheels. 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. You can steer around
the obstacle while braking hard.
