What is ABS?

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to maintain driver control and stability of the car during emergency braking. It allows maximum braking to be applied while retaining the ability to steer out of trouble. The operation of ABS can slightly reduce stopping distance in some cases such as wet road surfaces, but it can increase the stopping distance in others, such as in deep snow or gravel.

How does it work?

ABS uses wheel speed sensors to determine if one or more wheels are trying to lock up during braking. If a wheel tries to lock up, a series of hydraulic valves limit or reduce the braking on that wheel. This prevents skidding and allows you to maintain steering control.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)

Distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels, as required.
