Can You Step Hard on the Brake Pedal When ABS is Activated?
1 Answers
When the ABS is activated, the brake pedal will vibrate. At this time, you should not release the brake pedal but step on it firmly. Below is more information about ABS: 1. What is ABS: ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during car braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road. 2. History of ABS: The development of ABS systems can be traced back to the early 20th century. By the late 1970s, the rapid development of digital electronic technology and large-scale integrated circuits laid the technical foundation for the practical application of ABS systems. Many companies successively developed various forms of ABS systems. Since the mid-1980s, ABS systems have evolved towards higher cost-effectiveness. Some companies simplified the structure and optimized the system of ABS, introducing economical ABS devices; others introduced rear-wheel ABS or four-wheel ABS systems suitable for light trucks and passenger-cargo vehicles. 3. Function of ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System can improve the safety factor of emergency braking while driving. Without ABS, when a car takes emergency braking in an emergency, the tires are prone to lock up, meaning the steering wheel cannot be turned, which increases the risk factor and can easily lead to serious consequences.
