What does ABS on a car mean?
1 Answers
ABS on a car stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which is an automotive safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock functions. ABS is an improved technology based on conventional braking devices and can be divided into mechanical and electronic types. It not only has the braking function of a regular braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking. Conventional braking systems can cause wheels to lock up completely when braking on slippery roads or during emergency braking due to the braking force exceeding the friction between the tires and the ground. The ABS system ensures the directional stability of the car during braking, preventing skidding and deviation, making it an advanced and highly effective braking device in modern vehicles.
