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.
CAUTION
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:
Don’t pump the
brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. When
you
start your vehicle and begin to
drive away, you may notice that your
brake pedal moves a little while this is
going
on.
A
brief mechanical noise is
normal. This is the
ABS
system testing
itself.
You
also may hear a clicking
noise as
you
accelerate after a hard
stop.
Disc
Brake Wear lndicafors
Your Oldsmobile has four-wheel disc
brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in
wear indicators that make a high-
pitched warning sound when the brake
pads are worn and new pads are
needed. The sound may come and go, or
be heard all the time your vehicle
is
moving (except when you are pushing
on the brake pedal firmly).
