Cadillac escalade ext 2002 Manual Do Utilizador

As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.

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.

Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let anti

-

lock work for you. You may feel the

brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise, but this 
is normal.

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.

The Stabilitrak system helps the driver maintain
directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. This is accomplished by selectively applying
either of the vehicle’s front brakes and/or momentarily
reducing engine power.

When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the Stabilitrak system performs several diagnostic
checks to insure that there are no problems. The green
light near the Stabilitrak switch will turn on when the
diagnostic checks are complete and the stability
enhancement system is ready to activate if needed. 
The light will come on only after the vehicle reaches a
speed of at least 10 mph (16.6 km/h).

The STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message will
come on when the system is operating. See “Message
Center” in the Index for more information. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the STABILITY
SYSTEM ACTIVE message appears, the cruise control
will automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage the
cruise control. See “Cruise Control” in the Index.
