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 Buick has an advanced electronic braking system
that will help prevent a braking skid.
This light on the
instrument panel will
come on briefly when
you start your vehicle.
When
you
start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise. And
you may even notice that your brake pedal moves
a
little
while this is going
on.
This is the
ABS
system testing
itself. If there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake
system, the anti-lock brake system warning light will
stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light”
in
the
Index.
