Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in
spurts
--
heavy acceleration followed by heavy
braking
--
rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a
mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between
hard stops.
Your
brakes will wear out much faster if you
do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the
traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will
eliminate
a
lot of unnecessary braking. That means
better braking and longer brake life.
If
your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t pump your brakes.
If
you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down.
If
your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up,
it
may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock
Brakes
(ABS)
Your Buick has an advanced electronic braking system
that will help prevent a braking skid.
ANTI
LOCK
This light on the
instrument panel will
come
on
briefly
when
you start your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise.
And
you may even notice that your brake pedal moves a
little
while this is going on. This is the ABS system testing
itself.
If
there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake
system, the anti-lock brake system warning light will
stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning
Light” in the
Index.
