Do cars with ABS systems need to pump the brakes?
1 Answers
Cars with ABS systems do not need to pump the brakes. The function of ABS is to prevent wheel lock-up and avoid loss of control. During emergency braking, pumping the brakes should not be used. The advantage of pumping the brakes is to prevent the ABS from activating, but in emergency situations, you should brake hard to allow the ABS to work. Once the ABS is activated, the anti-lock braking system remains on standby. Most cars cannot manually turn off the ABS. The best practice is to drive at a low speed to the nearest 4S shop for inspection and repair of potential safety hazards after the ABS is triggered, or to park the car on the roadside and request emergency towing services. ABS effectively maintains braking performance during emergency stops, maximizing driving safety in sudden accidents. "ABS" is the Chinese translation of Anti-lock Braking System, a vehicle safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock functions. ABS is an improved technology based on conventional braking systems and can be divided into mechanical and electronic types. Modern vehicles are widely equipped with anti-lock braking systems, which not only provide the braking function of conventional systems but also prevent wheel lock-up.
