STARTING AND DRIVING CAUTION D Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your brake fluid pressure reserve. D Even if the power assist is completely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard, much harder than normal. And your braking distance will be longer. Anti-lock brake system The anti-lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock-up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances. Effective way to press the ABS brake pedal: When the anti-lock brake system function is in action, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Especially, in a panic stop, you need to keep it depressed more firmly, and do not pump the brake. Pumping the brake pedal makes the stopping distance longer. 317
