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
both
rear wheels.
