How to Use the ABS Anti-lock Braking System?

[NaomiLee]

The method of using the ABS anti-lock braking system: 1. When driving a car equipped with ABS, do not be too casual; tailgating, sharp turns, or forced lane changes are very dangerous; 2. The ABS system does not activate every time you brake; it only works when the wheels are close to locking up; 3. Some experienced drivers who are used to driving cars without ABS are accustomed to improving braking effectiveness by repeatedly pressing the brake pedal during emergency braking. In a car with ABS, this operation is already automated, so this method is not only unnecessary but also hinders the normal operation of the ABS system. The correct way is to keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal without releasing it during braking; 4. The ABS system is reliable and has a relatively low failure rate. If the ABS light suddenly comes on, do not panic. Drive the car steadily to a professional repair shop for inspection. If both the ABS and handbrake lights come on simultaneously, it indicates that there may be a serious problem with the vehicle's braking system. You should immediately slow down, pull over, and wait for assistance.
