Your
Driving
and
the
Road
I
Anti-Lock
Brakes
(ABS)
Your Pontiac has
an
advanced electronic
braking system
that
will help prevent
skidding.

ANTILOCK
@)

This light
on
the
instrument
panel
will go
on
when
you
start
your
vehicle.
When
you start your
vehicle and begin to
drive away,
you
may
hear
a
momentary
motor or clicking
noise.
And
you
may
even notice that
your
brake
pedal
moves
2
little
while
this
is
going
on. This is the
ABS
system
testing
itself.
If
there’s
a
problem
with
the
anti-lock
brake system,
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
will
stay
on.
See “Anti-lock
Brake
System
Warning
Light” in the Index.
Here’s
how
anti-lock
works.
Let’s
say
the
road
is
wet.
You’re
driving
safely.
Suddenly an animal
jumps
out
in
front
of
you:
You slam
on
the
brakes.
Here’s
what
happens
with
ABS.
A
computer
senses
that
wheels
are
slowing
down.
If
one
of
the
wheels
is
about to stop rolling,
the
computer
will
separately
work
the
brakes
at each
front
wheel
and at the
rear
wheels.
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.
