The Anti-lock Brake System (also called as ABS) is designed to help
prevent lock-up of the wheels and stable stopping of vehicle during a
sudden, panic emergency braking or braking on slippery road
surfaces. The ABS system takes input from wheel speed sensors
and brake pedal switch to control the brake fluid pressures at the
wheels to avoid wheel lock-up. It allows vehicle to be steered during
braking.
The minimum speed for ABS to function is 12 kmph. ABS is
activated only during wheel lock conditions where ABS takes over
and prevents wheel lock.
During the ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake
pedal to indicate ABS is active. You may also hear motor noise from
the engine compartment. It is recommended to hold the brake
pedal firmly while the ABS is active rather than pumping the brake
pedal.
