Anti-lock brakes

Anti-lock brakes (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking under heavy braking or when driving on the road with uneven surface. The electronic control unit Anti-lock brake system (ABS) monitors wheel speed of the car and adjusts the brake fluid pressure in the wheel cylinders. Thus, in an emergency or on a slippery road, this system improves the car's handling during braking.

NOTE

During operation, anti-lock brakes (ABS) braking on the brake pedal can be felt faint ripple. Also, while driving may be noise in the engine compartment. This is a normal phenomenon, they point out that the anti-lock brakes (ABS) is working properly.

ATTENTION

Anti-lock brakes (ABS) can not prevent traffic accidents (accident) due to incorrect or dangerous maneuvers. While it improves the car's handling during emergency braking, always observe the safe distance from the vehicle in front. Vehicle speed must be reduced in adverse driving conditions. In the following cases the braking distance vehicles with anti-lock brakes with ABS may be longer than the car without it.

Driving on gravel roads and roads covered with snow.

Driving with snow chains installed.

Traffic on the roads, on the surface there are bumps, pits, etc., or other on bumpy roads with poor coverage.

Speed of movement on such roads should be reduced. Do not check the security provided by cars equipped with anti-lock brake system (ABS), turning corners or moving at high speeds.
