A
computer senses that the rear wheels are slowing
down.
If
one of the rear wheels is about
to
stop rolling,
the computer will work the brakes at the rear wheels. It
is programmed to make the most
of
available tire and
road conditions.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates
on
rear 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
Use rear-wheel anti-lock like regular brakes. You may
feel the brakes; vibrate, or you may notice some noise
outside your vehicle, but this is normal. Let anti-lock
work for
you,
but remember: Your front wheels can still
stop rolling.
If
that happens, release enough pressure on
the brakes to get the wheels rolling again
so
that you can
steer.
With the four-wheel drive option, you won’t have
anti-lock brak.ing when
you
shift into four-wheel drive.
But
you
will have regular braking. When you shift back
into two-wheel drive,
you
will have anti-lock again.
