Avoid needless heavy braking. Some peoplc drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot o f unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If your engine ever stops while you'redriving, brake normally but don't pump your brakes. I f you do, the pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But you will use it when you brake. Oncc thc power assist is used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push.
