If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes,
extreme braking can make the wheels lock and
slide, causing you to lose control of the steering.
If the wheels lock, release the brake pedal and
repeat the ºsqueezeª technique.

[DR16900(ALL)05/95]
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake
pedal; you will wear out the linings and increase
your vehicle's stopping distance. Brake rotor
damage may also eventually occur.

RWARNING
If you are driving down a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear. Do not apply
your brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.

Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes annoyingly loud or increases
significantly in frequency of occurrence, return
the vehicle to your dealer for inspection.

(If equipped)
*
[DR17325(ALL)11/94]
Your vehicle may come with the optional
anti-lock brake system. Whenever your wheels
start to lock (which could result in a skid) the
anti-lock brake system prevents the lock-up by
automatically releasing and re-applying the
brakes. The brake pedal will pulsate as a result
of the automatic releasing and re-applying of the
brakes. In spite of this improvement in braking
performance, you should continue to be cautious
in all hazardous driving situations, especially
when driving on hazardous road surfaces. Even
