Remember: ABS does not change the time you

need to get your foot up to the brake pedal

or always decrease stopping distance. If you get

too close to the vehicle in front of you, you will not

have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle

suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough

room up ahead to stop, even though you

have ABS.

Using ABS

Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake

pedal down ﬁrmly and let anti-lock work for you.

You may feel a slight brake pedal pulsation

or notice some noise, but this is normal.

Braking in Emergencies

At some time, nearly every driver gets into a

situation that requires hard braking.

If you have ABS, you can steer and brake at the

same time. However, if you do not have ABS, your

ﬁrst reaction — to hit the brake pedal hard and hold

it down — may be the wrong thing to do. Your

wheels can stop rolling. Once they do, the vehicle

cannot respond to your steering. Momentum will

carry it in whatever direction it was headed when

the wheels stopped rolling. That could be off the

road, into the very thing you were trying to avoid, or

into traffic.

If you do not have ABS, use a “squeeze” braking

technique. This will give you maximum braking

while maintaining steering control. You can do this

by pushing on the brake pedal with steadily

increasing pressure.

In an emergency, you will probably want to

squeeze the brakes hard without locking the

wheels. If you hear or feel the wheels sliding, ease

off the brake pedal. This will help you retain

steering control. If you do have ABS, it is different.

See Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) on page 307.

In many emergencies, steering can help you

more than even the very best braking.
