What is the proper way to use antilock break in emergency situation?

In an emergency situation, the proper way to use antilock brakes (ABS) is to firmly apply the brake pedal without pumping it. The ABS will automatically modulate the brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup, allowing you to maintain steering control. Keep your foot steady on the brake and steer towards your intended path. Remember, you may feel a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal, which is normal and indicates that the system is working.

How is an antilock brake system work?

An antilock brake system (ABS) prevents wheel lockup during hard braking by modulating brake pressure. It uses sensors to monitor wheel speed and, if it detects a wheel is about to lock, the system rapidly releases and reapplies the brakes multiple times per second. This allows the driver to maintain steering control and reduces stopping distances on slippery surfaces. ABS enhances overall vehicle stability and safety during emergency stops.
