114 Brakes HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal. The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the risks when: • You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. • Your vehicle is hydroplaning. • You take corners too fast. • The road surface is poor. PARKING BRAKE WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the transmission is securely latched in park (P). To set the parking brake, press the parking brake pedal down until the pedal stops. The brake warning lamp will illuminate and will remain illuminated until the parking brake is released. To release, pull the brake release lever located at the lower left side of the instrument panel.
