Under what circumstances will the car ABS activate?
1 Answers
ABS system will activate during emergency braking, and strong braking on slippery or icy roads will also trigger the ABS system. Here is relevant information about car ABS activation: 1. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, the ABS system allows the wheels to maintain a rolling and sliding state. 2. ABS prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, as locked wheels can cause the vehicle to skid and lose control. 3. If all wheels are locked, the driver cannot control the vehicle's trajectory through the steering wheel. ABS is designed to enable the driver to decelerate promptly in emergencies while maintaining control over the vehicle's path to avoid obstacles ahead. 4. Without ABS, the vehicle would quickly lose control. The ABS system prevents this by keeping the wheels in a rolling and sliding state during emergency braking, essentially performing intermittent braking on the wheels. 5. ABS can apply braking to the wheels 60 to 120 times per second.
