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.
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 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.
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.
