You can steer around
the
obstacle while braking hard.
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 ahcad 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
hear
the anti-lock pump or motor operate, and
feel
the
brake pedal pulsate,
but
this
is
normal.
