ANTI - LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

Anti-lock braking system is one of the car
new and control systems preventing the
wheels from locking on slippery roads, or
2
by intense braking on dry roads. Therefore,
it reduces the brake distance, steer ability,
improves stability, and increases car safety
in general.
When using a car equipped with anti
lock brake system always consider the
following points:
−Since the anti lock braking system is only
for balancing the brake force, therefore
when braking sufficiently press the brake
pedal.
− Feeling brake pedal vibrations under the
foot while braking over unstable roads or
sudden braking is normal and caused by the
operation of the anti-lock braking system.
In this situation press sufficiently the brake
pedal with confidence making sure of
proper function of braking system.

−Hearing beating wise noise from front
and rear wheels when braking over
slippery roads or sudden braking is normal
and due to the correct operation of the anti-
lock braking system.
−Anti-lock braking system is equipped with
an automatic defect finding system that will
light the anti-lock braking system warning
indicator, on displaying instrument panel
in case of a problem.
−When the car is turned on, the anti-
lock braking system warning indicator on
displaying instrument panel gets on and
will turn off after a few seconds. If the
warning indicator does not light when the
car is turned on or remains lit, it's a sign of
problem in the anti-lock braking system. In
this situation the car should be directed to
an authorized workshop for diagnosis by
computerized system of defect finder.
It's good to bring to your notice in case of
damage or presence of any problem in anti-
lock braking system, your vehicle has just
the capability of an ordinary braking system.
−If the handbrake is completely released
and both the handbrake indicator and anti-
lock braking system warning indicator are
lit, on displaying instrument panel, stop the
car with precaution and contact a nearest
authorized workshop.
The brake dragging distance will be more
while you're driving on sloppy surfaces.
Make sure of proper functioning of the
brake after washing the vehicle or while
you're passing from the puddles.
