    Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) help prevent wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to steer to safety. ABS uses sensors to detect wheel lockup and rapidly pulses the brakes to maintain traction. When ABS activates during braking, the driver should firmly press and hold the brake pedal while steering in the desired direction.

    Anti-Lock Braking System

    mycardoeswhat.org/safety-features/anti-lock-braking-system

    Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) help you steer in emergencies by restoring traction to
    your tires.

    What It Does

    What It Does: Helps prevent wheels from locking up – possibly allowing the driver to
    steer to safety.

    What It Does Not Do: May not shorten stopping distance; pedal may vibrate or push
    back – that’s normal.

    BRAKES THAT HELP YOU STEER

    How it works

    WHAT IT DOES
    Four-wheel anti-lock brakes help you steer as you brake during an emergency.

    THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT

    Wheel sensors detect when your car’s tires begin locking up. Then, they rapidly apply and
    release (pulse) the brakes to automatically keep your tires from skidding.

    5/7
    WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
    When you feel or hear the ABS vibrating, continue to firmly press and hold the brake
    – then steer to safety.

    TIPS FOR USING

    If your car doesn’t have 4-wheel ABS or the ABS is not working, make sure to pump
    the brakes if your car begins to skid.
    ABS works most effectively when the tires are properly inflated and in good
    condition.
    Common causes of 4-wheel ABS malfunctions include worn brake linings and air or
    dirt in the brake fluid.
