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.
