If the brakes temporarily lose its
function because of overheating:
Shift to a lower gear when driving
downhill.
Take the following steps if the brakes
temporarily lose function due to wet
components:
1. Check whether there is any vehicle
following.
2. Maintain a safe speed, make sure
that there is enough space behind
and to both sides of your vehicle.
3. Depress the brake carefully until
performance returns to normal.
Anti-lock Braking System*
Your vehicle may be equipped with this
function.
The Anti-lock Braking System is an
advanced electronic brake system which
helps to prevent slip and skidding. This
system can help to bypass obstacles
when braking suddenly and provide
maximum braking force on slippery
roads.
The ABS warning light will light
momentarily when the ignition switch is
turned ON. If the ABS warning light
stays on or lights during driving, it
indicates a problem with the ABS.
Consult your CHEVROLET retailer for
necessary repair. See ABS Warning
Light on page 57.
The ABS system will monitor the speed
of each wheel during the braking
process. If one wheel has a tendency to
lock up, the system will control the front
and rear wheel brakes separately. The
brake pedal will usually vibrate slightly
with some noise when ABS is working.
90 Driving and Operating
Caution
Do not put your foot on brake pedal
during driving. Otherwise the wear
on the brake components will be
accelerated.
Also the brakes will overheat so that
the braking distance is increased and
safety is reduced.
The brake may temporarily lose
function after the car has driven
through water or has been washed, or
when the brake is overused while the
car is driving down a long steep
slope. This may be due to the brakes
are wet or overheated.
