As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on

wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.

Remember: Anti

-lock doesn’t 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 won’t 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

Don’t 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 don’t 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

can’t 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 don’t have anti

-lock, use a “squeeze” braking

technique. This will give you maximum braking while

maintaining steering control. You do this by pushing

on the brake pedal with steadily increasing pressure.

In an emergency, you will probably want to squeeze

the brakes hard without locking the wheels. If you

hear or feel the wheels sliding, ease off the brake pedal.

This will help you retain steering control. If you do have

anti

-lock, it’s different. See “Anti-Lock Brakes” in

the Index.

In many emergencies, steering can help you more than

even the very best braking.
