Cars Q&A

ABS is a safety braking system much useful if you want to suddenly stop the car in rainy/slippery/icey or in emergency conditions.

In a vehicle equipped with an Antilock Braking System, the
ABS control unit constantly evaluates the speed of all wheels.If the ABS wheel-speed sensors placed at each wheel detecta lock-up, ABS intervenes within milliseconds by modulating the braking pressure at each individual wheel. In this way ABS prevents the wheels from locking during braking, thus ensuring steerability and stability combined with the shortest possible braking distance
