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.
Bnti-Lock Brakes (Option)
:f your Pontiac has anti-lock brakes (ABS), it has an
dvanced electronic braking system that will help
Irevent a braking skid.
I f your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, the brake pedal will
;ay so.
