Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine P TO Use Anti-L.ock:
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the
brake pedal downand let anti-lock
work for you. You may feel the brake
pedal
vibrate, or you -may notice some
noise,
but thi.s is normal.
When the ABS is active, the ABS
ACTIVE light- conies on to-indicate luw
traction conditions.
Adjust your -driving
accordingly.
When
you start your vehicle and begin
to drive away, you may hear a
momentary motsr Qr .clicking, noise-and
you. my even notice that, yow bmke
pedd -moves a little while this is going
on.
This is the ABS test-ing itself. You-
may also hear and feel this durihg a
hard stop.
Corvette ASR (Acceleration SIip
R.egulati0.n) System
Yo& vehicle has an ASR system that
limits wheel
spin. This is especially
useful in slippery road conditions. The
ASR system works at all speeds. It
limits
wheel spin by reducing englne
torque
by cLusing the throttle and
managing
sp'ark and .applyiag the rear
brakes. You may €&el the system
working., .or
you may notice some noise,
but this is normal.

Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist
because the engine stops
or the system
fails to function, you c-an steer but it
will take much more effort.

steering Tips-Dtiving on Curves
It's important to tale curves at a
reasonable
speed.
A lot of the "driver lost control"
accidents mentioned
on. the news
happen on .curves. .Here's why:
Experienced driver
or beginner, each of
us is subject to the same laws of physics
when
driving on'curves; The.;traction of
the tixes against the road surface makes
it possible
for the vehicle to change its
path when you turn the front wheels. If
there's no traction, inertia will keep the
vehicle going in the same direction. If
yuu"ve mer tried to steer a vehicle on
wet ice> you:U understand this.
The traction you can get in a curve
depends on the condition of your tizies
and
the road surface, the angle at which
the-curve
is banked, and your speed,
While you're in
a curve, speed is the one
factor you can control.
Suppose you're steering through. a. sharp
a.xve. Then you suddenly acwlerate. If
excess wheel spin is detected, ASR will
reduce erigine torque to the wheels. Lf
your ASR system is off, those two
control systems-steering and
acceleration-can ovGrwhelm those
i places where-the tires meet the road and
~ make you lose control.
1 What should you do if this ever
happens? Let
up on the accelerator
pedal, steer
the vehicle the way you
want it to go, and slow down.
