1.   Braking in snow or slush can be hazardous, so allow enough room to avoid the need for panic stops.

2.   ABS prevent a vehicle from skidding in panic stops by quickly adjusting brake pressure.

3.   I found the braking effort required in panic stops considerably more than in some other cars in the class.

4.   In a panic stop, a securely strapped carrier is much safer for your animal than having it hurled onto the floor or into the rear of a seat.

5.   In a panic stop, the brake-assist system automatically exerts full pressure against the calipers to shorten stopping distances.

6.   More zigs, zags, panic stops and evasive maneuvers await in the story of Communist China.

7.   Neither full-throttle starts nor panic stops caused the XLT to lose traction.

8.   Repeated panic stops tend to lock the wheel at that flat spot, making it worse.

9.   The antilock brakes get a boost from an electronic brake-force distribution system and a brake-assist system that cuts braking distance in panic stops.

10.   The anti-lock brakes, which also have an emergency brake assist feature to apply maximum force in panic stops, were smooth and progressive.
