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 anti-lock brakes (ABS). ABS is an

advanced electronic braking system that will help

prevent a braking skid.

If there’s a problem with the

anti

-lock brake system, this

warning light will stay on.

See “Anti-Lock Brake

System Warning Light” in

the Index.
