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 Immediately after starting the engine and started driving in the engine compartment can be heard brief knock. This is normal and indicates proper operation of the ABS (ESP). |
During the anti-lock brake system (ABS) (ESP) when braking on the brake pedal can be felt faint ripple.
