The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
faster than any driver could. The computer is
programmed
to
make the most of available tire and
road conditions.
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
or
always decrease
stopping distance.
If
you get too close to the vehicle
in
kont
of
you,
you
won’t have time to apply you brakes
if
that
vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough
room
up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes.
Using
Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal
down
finnly and let anti-lock work for you.
You
may feel a slight
brake
pedal
pulsation or notice some noise, but
this
is normal.
LOW
TRAC
When
your
anti-lock
system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking
skid,
this light will come on. See
“Low Traction Light” in
the Index.
naction
Control
System
(Option:
V8
Engine)
Your vehicle
may
have a traction control system that limits
wheel spin.
This
is especially
useful
in
slippery road
conditions. The system operates only
if
it senses that one
or both
of
the rear wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When
this
happens,
the
system works
the
rear brakes and reduces engine power
(by
closing the
throttle and managing engine spark) to limit wheel
spin.
