Winter driving in a Blazer

[candywrapper]

Hello;
Abs brakes really suck in snow and ice. you wont be able stop(Abs)will prevent you from locking upyour brakes thus you will slide thru intersections and so forth. so start slowing down earlier than usual in slippery conditions. If this is your first 4X4 with ABS brakes,go down some roads that arnt traveled too much and experiment to get the feel of your 4x4 with abs systems, so that you will know how much it takes to stop at intersections.When i got my first 4x4 with abs,it spooked me,(slid right into a intersection)but i learned very fast.Luckily it was early in the morning.

Be carefull too, the abs works differently in 2wd than it does in 4wd. In 4wd it allows a little bit of lockup

Funny , my Blazer came with a few videos, one specifically on how to brake with Abs, Abs reduces the distane required to stop and gives you control of where to steer. Rule with Abs, foot down hard, keep it down, steer clear o obstacles, you'll stop faster and safer. You don't treat abs like you would normal power brakes (like in a 78 firebird)

Mytwo cents, Xpc.

Can you possibly tell us all who made that video?
Or better yet if they have a web site.

It would just be nice if everyone can watch the video on-line.

Yeah, it's the stuff that you get at the mall, it comes in a cone with flavoring on it.
