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. Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to get yourfoot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenlyslows or stops. Always leave enough room up aheadto stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. Using Anti-Lock Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. When your anti-lock system is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid a braking skid, this light will come on. See "Anti-Lock Brake System Active Light" in the Index. LOW TRAC You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed andcontrols braking pressure accordingly. 4-8
