Antilock Brake System (ABS)

(if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
antilock brake system (ABS), an
advanced electronic system that helps
prevent skidding when severe braking is
required. ABS and standard brakes
require different braking procedures
when experiencing emergency braking
situations. Your Owner Manual provides
information on both of these procedures
in detail.
When using ABS, don't pump the brake
pedal. Just hold the pedal down firmly
and let the system work for you. You
may feel the brakes vibrate or hear
noises when ABS is working, but this is
normal.
If the vehicle is not equipped with anti-
lock brakes, use a "squeeze" braking
technique. This technique requires you
to push the brake pedal with steadily
increasing pressure. Using this tech-
nique gives you maximum braking while
maintaining steering control.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

Accessory Power Outlet

The accessory power outlet is located
on the passenger side of the console.
Some non-GM accessories may not be
compatible with the outlet and could
result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
The fuse panel is located at the end of
the instrument panel on the driver's
side.
Note: Your vehicle's cigarette lighter
should only be used with a GM Lighter.
For all other accessories, use the
Accessory Power Outlet.
