It is correct not to release the brake pedal when ABS is active. Here is more information about ABS: 1. Function: The function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%) to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground. 2. Development history: 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, and many companies successively developed various forms of ABS systems.
As a driver with over a decade of experience, I believe this issue is crucial. When ABS is activated, you must never release the brake pedal—it's a matter of safety. ABS, the Anti-lock Braking System, automatically adjusts pressure when wheels are about to lock, allowing the car to maintain steering control. But this only works if you keep firmly pressing the brake to provide the necessary pressure. Releasing the pedal disables ABS, potentially causing loss of control or failed braking. I've experienced this during rain—ABS engaged with pedal pulsation, I kept maximum pressure, and the car stopped steadily. Conversely, once I eased off and nearly skidded into a tree. ABS is designed for you to maintain full braking force during emergencies while it fine-tunes the details. Cultivate proper driving habits, stay calm in crises, and keep steady pressure. This awareness prevents accidents. Remember: when ABS activates, stand firm on that pedal.
