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. This can help you 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 does not 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

front of you, you will not 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.

Using Anti-Lock

Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down

ﬁrmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the

brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise, but this

is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

With anti-lock brakes, you can steer and brake at the

same time. In many emergencies, steering can help you

more than even the very best braking.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

Your vehicle may have this feature. A limited-slip rear

axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice,

sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the

time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction

and the other does, this feature will allow the wheel with

traction to move the vehicle.
