1 Answers
When the ABS in a Mercedes-Benz stops working, it indicates a failure in the braking system's anti-lock function. Below is additional information: 1. Definition of ABS: ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, a technology developed by Robert Bosch GmbH for use in motorcycles and cars to prevent loss of control and generally increase braking distance, thereby improving vehicle safety. During braking, the ABS automatically controls the braking force to prevent wheel lock-up, ensuring maximum traction between the tires and the road. 2. Functions: (1) Maximizes braking efficiency, reducing braking time and distance. (2) Effectively prevents skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. (3) Allows steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. (4) Avoids excessive friction between tires and the road, reducing tire wear.
