Your
Driving
and
the
Road
Brake
Pedal
Travel
See
your
dealer
if
the
brake
pedal does
not
return
to
normal
height,
or
if
there
is a
rapid
increase
in
pedal
travel.
This
could
be a sign
of
brake
trouble.
Brake
Adjustment
Every
time you
make a moderate
brake
stop,
your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
If
you rarely
make a moderate or heavier
stop,
then
your
brakes
might
not
adjust
correctly. If
you drive in
that
way,
then
-
very carefully
-
make a few
moderate
brake
stops
about
every
1000
miles
(1
600
km),
so
your
brakes
will adjust
properly.
If your
brake
pedal
goes
down
farther
than
normal,
your
rear
drum
brakes
may
need
adjustment.
Adjust
them
by
backing
up and firmly applying
the
brakes a few
times.
Braking
in
Emergencies
Use
your
anti-lock
braking
system
when
you
need
to.
With anti-lock, you
can steer
and
brake
at
the
same
time.
In
many
emergencies,
steering
can
help you more
than
even
the
very
best
braking.
Steering
Power
Steering
If
you
lose
power
steering
assist
because
the
engine
stops
or
the
system
fails to
function, you
can steer but
it
will
take
much more
effort.
Steering
Tips
Driving
on
Curves
It’s
important
to
take
curves at a
reasonable
speed.
A
lot
of the
“driver

accidents
mentioned
on
the
news
happen
on
curves.
Here’s
why:

each of
us is
subject
to
the
