What does it feel like when ABS engages during braking?

[VanKhloe]

ABS engagement is distinctly noticeable, most directly felt as strong vibrations in the brake pedal. Here is more information about ABS: 1. The function of the anti-lock braking system is to control braking force, preventing wheel lock-up during hard braking. It operates at the edge of the tire's friction limit to provide maximum braking performance while maintaining some vehicle control. 2. Hard braking on wet asphalt roads after rain easily activates the ABS system. Once activated, the ABS indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, followed by noticeable vibrations in the brake pedal (commonly referred to as 'kicking back'). You'll also hear a chattering sound from the tires gripping and releasing the road surface.
