Anti-lock Brake System
(A
Your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes.
AB§
is an
advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
ANTI-
LOCK
United States Canada
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, this warning light on
the instrument panel will come on briefly when you
start your vehicle.
When you start your engine, or when you begin
to
drive
away, your anti-lock brake system will check itself.
You may hear a momentary motor
or
clicking noise while
this test is going on, and you may even notice that
your brake pedal moves or pulses
a
little. This is normal.
Let’s say the road is wet and you’re driving safely.
Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front
of
you. You slam
on the brakes and continue braking. Here’s what
happens with
ABS:
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If
one
of
the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at each wheel.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
faster than any driver could. The computer is
programmed to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle
while braking hard.
