LOCK (!I
ANTI-
When you start your vshiclc and begin to drive away, you may hear a
momentaw motor or cliclcing noise. And you may even notic; that your
brake pedal nloves 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.
Here’s
how anti-lock works. Let‘s say the road is wet. You’re driving
safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you.

One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on
them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety
in city driving:

Know the best way to get to where you are going. Gct a city map and
pian your trip into an unknown part
of the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next part, “Freeway Driving.”)
Treat
a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because
the corner
is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have
not
cleared the intersection or may be running the red light.
