Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet.
You're driving safely. Suddenly
an
animal
juqps
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.
You' can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As
you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
