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 em change the brake p~essure faster
than any
driver
could.
?%e
computer is programmed to
make
the most of available tire and road tronditions.
You cansteer around
the
obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates- on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
