If you “ride” your brakes, they

get so hot they will require a lot of
pedal force to slow you down.

lnuch faster. You would need costly
brake replacement much sooner
than normal, and
it also reduces fuel
economy.
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.
