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.

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 or pulses 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.

See “Anti

-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in

the Index.
