- Unlike most, the GM ABS VI makes almost no noise and the only change in
- the pedal is that it is slightly firmer. In some ways I wish it made
- MORE noise (or had a light or something) to let me know that it is in
- operation. So far, I have only engaged it a few times (this is the
- car's second winter), but I knew each time that it was engaged. More
- obvious warning of the ABS operation seems essential in my opinion,
- though grinding is hardly the answer.
