Acceleration Slip Regulation (Asr); System (Option); Braking In Emergencies - Chevrolet 2002 Camaro 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 "Low Traction Light"
in the Index.

Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR)

System (Option)

Your vehicle may have a traction control system called
ASR that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system reduces engine power (and works the rear brakes
on V8 engine vehicles) to limit wheel spin.
The ASR system may operate on dry roads under
some conditions, and you may notice a reduction in
acceleration when this happens. This is normal and
doesn't mean there's a problem with your vehicle.
Examples of these conditions include a hard acceleration
in a turn, or an abrupt upshift or downshift.
This light will come on
when your ASR system
is limiting wheel spin.
See "Low Traction Light"
in the Index. You may feel
or hear the system working,
but this is normal.
