NOTICE

The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
faster than any driver could. The computer is
pg-ammed 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 suddenly slows or
stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even
though you have anti-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the system
working, or you may notice some noise, but this is
normal.
If your vehicle has the traction control system, the LOW
TRACTION light will come on when your anti-lock
system is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid a
braking skid. See “Low Traction Light” in the Index.
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
