    Study Notes

    Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

    • The primary function of ABS is to prevent wheel lock-up during braking, allowing the vehicle to maintain traction and stability.

    ABS Functionality

    • When ABS reduces pressure in the braking system, it allows the wheels to continue rotating, which helps to maintain vehicle control and stability.

    • ABS reduces pressure in the braking system to prevent wheel lock-up, which can cause skidding and loss of control.

    Consequences of Wheel Lock-up

    • Wheel lock-up during braking can result in loss of traction, skidding, and reduced vehicle control, increasing the risk of accidents.

    Role of ABS in Emergency Braking

    • The role of ABS in emergency braking situations is to rapidly pulse the brakes, allowing the vehicle to maintain traction and stability, and enabling the driver to steer safely around obstacles.
