r ti sop if your car is equipped with an antilock brake system the fol lowing tips may be useful always brake and steer when using antilock brakes most drivers were taught to pump the brakes and turn hard to the right or left in order to compen sate for skidding with antilock brakes all drivers have to do is brake and steer with fourwheel abs push the brake pedal hard while steering nor mally and keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until the car comes to a complete stop dont take your foot off the brake pedal because it will disen gage the antilock system drivers of rearwheel abs vehi cles should stop firmly with care if they feel the wheels begin to lock they should withhold some pres sure expect noise and vibration in the brake pedal when your antilock brakes are in use the mechanical noise or pulsa tions of antilock brakes might catch drivers by surprise but these sensa tions tell you the brakes are work ing remember that you can steer while you are braking with fourwheel antilock brake systems steering is not always an instinc tive reaction in an emergency stop ping situation steer out of harms way while keeping your foot firmly on the brake pedal remember that while you have steering capability in a braking situ ation your vehicle may not turn as quickly on a slippery road as it would on dry pavement rearwheel antilock brake systems typically found on light trucks will provide vehicle stability but will not give you the steering capability of fourwheel systems drivers with rearwheel antilock brake systems which are mainly installed in light trucks should remember that because the front brakes can lock your steering capa bility will not improve if your vehicle is equipped with rearwheel antilock brakes follow these directions do not step as firm ly and if you feel the wheels begin to lock withhold some pressure the vehicle will stay straight while braking and your braking ability and the stability of your vehi cle will be mush better than with conventional brakes antilock brake systems can often stop more quickly than conventional brakes but they cant overcome the laws of physics antilock brake systems function well on wet paved surfaces and icy or packed snowcovered roads stopping times can be longer on deep gravel or freshlyfallen snow although drivers wont experience the dangerous lockup of the wheels usually associated with conventional hard braking drive safely because your antilock brakes are only as good as the driver who is using them antilock brakes cannot compen sate for driving faster more aggres sively or maintaining unsafe follow ing distances nor can they guaran tee recovery from a spin or skid prior to a braking event keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you and maintain a speed consistent with road condi tions also avoid extreme steering manoeuvres while your antilock brake systems are engaged your antilock braking system instrument panel warning light will go on for a few seconds after starting the ignition the light goes on so that the sys tem can conduct normal function tests dt not overcorrect if your vehicle goes into a skid should have a higher pressure than the

pressure on both front wheels must be equal in order to avoid swerves when braking on some models the rear tires quate stopping distance should your car go into a skid dont panic do not hit the brakes

then straight en the wheels t if the light does not go out or if it lights up during normal driving this means that a prob lem with the antilock braking system circuit has been detected and the abs system has shut off conventional braking will continue to func tion consult your car dealer should a prob lem occur v its easy to find out whether your car has antilock brakes determine if your car has an antilock brak ing system by noting whether an abs light flashes on your dashboard during ignition checking your owners manual or asking your dealer a an engine block heater improves morning
