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.

When you start your engine and 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. This is normal.

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.
