Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road
is
wet. You’re driving
safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out
in
front
of
you.
You
slam
on
the brakes. Here’s what happens with
ABS.
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If
one
of
the wheels
is
about to stop rolling, the computer
will
separately work the brakes at each
front wheel and at the rear wheels.
The
anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver
could. The computer
is
programmed to make
the
most
of
available tire
and road conditions.
