BRAKE
The standard braking system is designed
for braking performance under a wide
range of driving conditions, even when the
vehicle is loaded to its full rated vehicle
load capacity
If the brake pedal can be depressed
furtherll1an normal, it may be due to a lack
of adjustment of the rear drum brakes. To
find oul
jf
this is the case, drive backwards
and forwards a few limes, applying the
brakes firmly when going in each direction.
Visit your Daewoo Outlet
if
the pedal
height does not return to normal, or there
is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This
could be a sign of brake trouble,

Do
not drive
with
your foot resting
on the brake pedal
as
this can
cause premature lining wear and
possible damage to the brakes.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)
The anti-lock braking system controls the
wheels so that they will not lock when brak-
ing abruptly or when braking on a slippery
road. The system detects the wheel rota-
tion rate and electronically controls the
pressure applied to the brakes. Slight vibra-
tion accompanied by noise usually occurs
while the ASS is operating. Such vibration
and noise is not a problem but simply
indicates
that the ASS is functioning
normally.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock braking system is cancelled. The
ordinary brakes will operate normally and
the ASS warning lamp will be illuminated
Consult your DAEWOO Outlet as soon as
possible if this situation occurs.

Braking with ASS
In an emergency. apply fun force on the
brake and clutch pedal simuttaneously. The
anti.lock braking system will be activated
immediately, allowing you to retain full
steering control 01 your vehicle.
We recommend that you familiarise your-
self with this braking technique.
However, avoid taking unnecessary risks.

WARNING

I
The anti.lock braking system, although
a sophisticated device, cannot prevent
accidents resulting from careless or
dangerous driving techniques.
Ultimately
the responsibility for your
safety and that of others rests in Ihe
hands of the driver.
Therefore only
through attentive and careful driving
methods can the anti-lock braking sys.
tem be fully appreciated.
