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 an advanced electronic braking system that can help\
you
keep it under control.
If your vehicle has an anti-lock brake system warning light on th\
e
instrument panel, it has four-wheel anti-lock brakes. Otherwise, it has
rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. When you start a vehicle that has \
four-wheel anti-lock brakes and begin to drive away, you may hear
a momentary motor
or clicking noise. This is the ABS system testing itself.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. Y\
ou’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. With four-wheel
anti-lock:
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes at each front wheel
and at the rear wheels. The
four-wheel anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster\
than any
4-6

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine driver could. With rear-wheel anti-lock: If one of the rear wheels is about
to stop rolling, the computer will work the brakes at the rear wheels. The
computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road
conditions.
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.
If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you
won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle sudden\
ly slows or
stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
To Use Four-wheel Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock
work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate. or you may notice some
noise, but this is
1 mal.
To Use Rear-Wheel Anti-Lock
Use rear-wheel anti-lock like regular brakes. You may feel the brakes
vibrate, or you may notice some noise outside your vehicle, bu\
t
this is
normal. Let anti-lock work for you, but remember: Your Eront wheels can
still stop rolling. If that happens, release enough pressure on the brakes to
get the wheels rolling again
so that you can steer.
With the four-wheel drive option, you won’t have rear-wheel anti-lock
braking when you shift into four-wheel drive. But you will hav\
e regular
braking. When you shift back into two-wheel drive, you will ha\
ve rear-wheel anti-lock again.
