(Anti-lock needs a hyphen.)My new anti-lock brakes failed.The car had anti-lock brakes for better stopping ability.
Heavy breaking with no ABS. Try to start breaking earlier and use less pressure.
Yes
Antilock Brake Light comes on and stays on when the ABS computer detects some problem with the antilock brakesystem components. You will still have normal brake use, but the Antilock system will probably not work as an Antilock brake system is supposed to work. ABS system diagnostic code readers are available and are recommended for diagnostic purposes, however fixing ABS systems is perhaps best left up to the Pros. . .
they use em to stab things
Push down on the brake pedal and hold it there, do not pump.Apply the brakes in an even manner until the braking system starts to pulse and vibrates the brake peddle. This is how anti lock brakes tell you you are getting the most available braking from them.Keep enough pressure or force on the peddle until the vehicle comes to a stop.
Stab -- an idiomatic use, as in, "He made a stab at getting the painting done."
The basic foundation brakes are the same but the anti-lock is an addition to the basic system.More: Anti-lock brakes have a sensor that will cause the brakes to pulsate when the brakes get near the point of locking up so you can still steer and move while braking.The system only kicks in during hard (emergency) braking.More: Anti-lock brakes can feel very uncomfortable when first experienced. The chattering and shaking can make you take your foot off the brake thinking something is wrong. To get over this I found an empty parking lot and compared stopping distances.I braked hard to use the anti-lock brakes and repeated the exercise until I felt confident that all that chattering improved my stopping distance.
Brakes use friction to stop a car.
the brakes use friction to stop the car
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
Disc brakes in the front and rear drum brakes.
