When driving the ABS system doe not operate. During an attempt to stop pressure on the brake pedal activates the system but it does not always do anything. Only when a wheel skids does the system turn on. A wheel that is still turning while braking is more effective at slowing the vehicle. (look up Kinetic versus Static friction) When the ABS detects a skidding wheel it pulses the pressure to each wheel in a sequence. The pulsing helps keep the wheel turning and slows the vehicle better.
ABS means Anti-Lock Braking System!
it is called abs. anti lock braking system
abs means anti lock braking system antilock braking system
Push hard on the brake pedal when your moving. If the wheels start to lockup ABS will be activated.
Anti-lock braking system
The terminology for this system is ABS (anti-lock braking system). This prevents wheels from locking while braking heavily. The reson behind this is that when a wheel is locked, it cannot steer, which can lead to accidents. The point of ABS is not reduce the braking distance, but to alllow this vital steering while emergency braking.
Anti-lock Braking System
anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface.
