Anti-Lock Braking System (Abs) - Ikco Pickup Owner's Manual

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Anti-lock braking system is one of the car
control systems preventing the wheels
from locking on slippery roads, or intense
braking. Therefore, it reduces the brake
distance, steer ability, improves stability,
and increases car safety in general.If the
wheels slip, when braking, not only the
brake distance increases but also the car
control is endangered.Therefore, using the
anti-lock braking system (ABS) system is
necessary in this situation. It prevents fully
locking of the wheels, and lets the driver to
control the vehicle when making sudden
and intense brakes. The system has a
considerable effect on increase safety since
it controls and adjusts the braking pressure
electronically, and adapts itself to variations
in road surface.In the conventional hydraulic
brakes, a timely constant pressure is
applied to the brake pedal, and causes to
lock the wheels on braking.
New navigation and stability system such
as ABS prevent wheels from locking
in these situations, which may cause
critical driving situations. ABS actually
monitors each of the wheels, and it can
adjust braking pressures so that each
wheel gets the maximum possible braking
force without locking of the wheel while
functioning. It prevents continual locking
and slipping of tires, and can provide the
best braking conditions for the vehicle to
remain stable and controllable especially
on slippery roads.
It is possible to summarize the advantages
of the anti lock braking system (ABS) as
follows:
1- Ability to maneuver and maintain the
stability of the vehicle when braking (on
direct paths and while changing direction)
2- Sustained steerability during braking
(on direct paths and while changing
direction)
3- Reducing the burden of responsibility
regarding the driver
4- Preventing the wearing of tires due to
impeding repeated locking of the brakes
and slipping of tires.

Warning
This system shall not be deemed
as a reason to incite you into
sudden accelerating and driving
with high speed. Indeed, nothing
can be replaced instead of driver's
responsibility and precaution while
driving.This performance
auxiliary system which manages the
driver's response according to the
prompt circumstances during driving
in critical conditions.
