Does activating ABS damage the car?
1 Answers
Activating ABS does not damage the car. Here is more relevant information: 1. Precautions for vehicles equipped with ABS: (1) When braking on gravel roads, loose soil surfaces, or deep snow-covered roads, ABS cannot shorten the braking distance but may cause the wheels to be in a state where they cannot stop. (2) Do not repeatedly press the brake pedal. When driving a car with ABS, repeatedly pressing the brake pedal will cause the ABS to work intermittently, leading to reduced braking efficiency and increased braking distance. (3) During braking, the ABS system provides the driver with reliable directional control, but it cannot automatically complete the steering operation of the car. In unexpected situations, the driver still needs to complete the steering control. 2. Limitations of the ABS system: The ABS system itself has limitations and cannot escape certain physical laws. In two cases, the ABS system cannot provide the shortest braking distance. One is on smooth dry roads when braking is performed directly by an experienced driver. The other case is when braking on loose gravel roads, loose soil surfaces, or deep snow-covered roads.
