Knowing Your Brakes Does your car have an anti-lock brake system (ABS)? It's important to know what type of brakes you have because vehicles equipped with ABS requsre different braking techniques in unplanned stops than those with conventional brakes. Anti-lock brake systems are one of tse most important and recogmized safe- ty features on any car, especially in difficuit or hazardous winter driving conditions. There aoe two types of anti-Iock brake systems-four wheel and rear wheel. Passenger cars and some Iight trucks may have four-wbeel ABS, whereas rear-wheel ABS is found exclusively on light trucks. When properly used, four-wheel. ABS improves vehicle steerability, stability and stopping capability in emergency situations. Rear-wbeel AB Sis designed to maintain directional stability and prevent the vehicle. from skidding sideways in emnergencies. To determine if your car has antj-lock brakes, look for an illumi- nated ABS symbol on your dashboard immediately after starting your engine, check your owner's manual, or ask your automotive service expert. Winter Drivers Can Benefit From ABS.

When braking on different surfaces, Use speed at which each tire rotates can actually be different. This can cause swerving. WiUs ABS, Use systemn's computer monitors Use speed of each of the vehicle's wheels, compares Usemn ansd adjusts braire pressure to each wheel to ensure Use car stops in Use shortest distance pps- sible under most road conditions. Even Usough anti-Iock braire systema can stop more quickly than conventional brakes on wet paved sur- faces and on icy or packed snow-covered roads, stopping distances can be longer on loose gravel or freshly falen snow. Always "Brake And Steer" When Using Four Wheel ABS. Unlike conventional brakes which require drivers to pump Use brakes to prevent skidding or slid- ing, four wheel AB S does Use pumping for you automatically at a rate as fast as 18 times per second when- ever a sensor detects the start of Iock-up on one or more of your wheels. To engage four-wheel ABS, keep your foot on Use brake pedal until steering clear of hazards. Do not take your foot off Use brake pedal or pump Use brakes because eiUser action will disengage the anti-Iock system. Rear-Wheel ABS Requires Different Braking Behaviour Than Four-Wheel ABS. Rear-wheel anti-lock brake systems prevent Use wheel lock of the vehicle's back wheels only. This shlows you.to maintain directional stability and preventa Use rear end from skidding sideways i emergency situa- tions. The vehicle' s front wheels can lock up on rear-wheel ABS systems, just like conventional brakes. If Usis occurs, you should ease up on Use brake pedal with juat enough pressure to allow Use front wheels to ril again so you can steer. siessor New and Used Automobiles Sales & Leasing - 1388 Main Street (905) 875-0089 - t~~~dIhLrN - -M Serving Milton for Over 25 Years a Brakes a Muf!loers a Front End a suspension a Front-wheel Drive *Auto Sales & Leasing Hassie free car buying - Cal! us and we'II shop for your custom ordered vehicle.
