Braking In Emergencies - Chevrolet 1999 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual

-
Remember: Anti lock doesn't 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 won't 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
-
anti lock brakes.
-
Using Anti Lock
Don't 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

-
With anti lock, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.

When your anti lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
this light will come on. See
