Chevrolet vehicles are certainly known for their quality and
affordable prices at which they are available, but there are certainly several
others traits which ideally describe these cars and portray a positive picture
of them. One of these features of the Chevrolet automobiles which make them
really optimal includes their braking system and how controllable they are.
Control of a Chevrolet Vehicle.
Control of a Chevrolet Vehicle.
You have three systems that make your Chevrolet vehicle go
where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator.
All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the
road. Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to ask more
of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. That means you
can lose control of your vehicle
Braking
Braking
Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to
decide to push on the brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then you have to
bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time is
about 3/4 of a second. But that’s only an average. It might be less with one
driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another. Age, physical
condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part. So do
alcohol, drugs and frustration. But even in 314 of a second, a Chevrolet
vehicle moving at 60 mph (100 km/h) travels 66 feet (20 m).That could be a lot
of distance in an emergency so, keeping enough space between your vehicle and
others is important. And, of course, actual stopping distances vary greatly
with the surface of the road (whether it’s pavement or gravel); the condition
of the road (wet, dry, icy); tire tread; and the condition of your brakes.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive
their Chevrolet car 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
Chevrolet vehicle 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 Chevrolet car 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.
Anti-Lock Brakes
If your Chevrolet has anti-lock brakes - (ABS) it, has an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid. If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, the brake pedal will say so.
To Use Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the Chevrolet system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
