ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM*
The anti-lock brake system controls the
wheels so that they will not lock when
braking abruptly or when braking on a
slippery road. The system detects the
wheel rotation rate and electronically
controls the pressure applied to the brakes.
Slight vibration accompanied by noise
usually occurs while ABS is operating.
Such vibration and noise simply indicates
that the ABS is functioning normally.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock brake system is cancelled. The
ordinary brakes will operate normally and
the ABS warning light will come on. Consult
your Daewoo Dealer as soon as possible
if this condition occures.
(ABS)
BRAKE
The regular braking system is designed for
braking performance under a wide range
of driving conditions even when the vehicle
is loaded to its full rated vehicle load
capacity.
If the brake pedal can be pressed further
than normal, it may be due to a lack of
adjustment of the rear drum brakes. To find
out if this is the case, drive backward and
forward a few times, applying the brakes
firmly when going in each direction.
Visit your Daewoo dealer if the pedal height
does not return to normal, or there is a rapid
increase in pedal travel. This could be a
sign of brake trouble.
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal as this can cause
premature lining wear and possible
damage to the brakes.
CAUTION
Rocking the car
If it becomes necessary to rock the car to
free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,
move the selector lever from "D" to "R" in
a repeat pattern while simultaneously
applying light pressure to the accelerator
pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid
sudden acceleration.
This applies only to the exceptional
circumstances mentioned above.
Maneuvering the car
To maneuver the car back and forth during
attempts to park or in garage entrances
utilize the above-mentioned creeping.
Regulate your speed by lightly releasing the
brake pedal.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
