What Does Vehicle Emergency Braking Mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle emergency braking refers to the situation where, during driving, the driver quickly and correctly applies the brakes in response to an emergency, bringing the vehicle to a stop within a short distance. This is known as emergency braking. For vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), the operation method is as follows: quickly release the accelerator pedal, immediately and forcefully press the brake pedal, and simultaneously depress the clutch pedal to bring the vehicle to a rapid stop. For vehicles without an anti-lock braking system, the operation method is: quickly release the accelerator pedal, forcefully press the brake pedal, use intermittent braking to prevent wheel lock-up, and quickly depress the clutch to prevent the vehicle from stalling. Emergency braking can cause significant damage to the vehicle and tires. Due to inconsistent braking between the left and right wheels or differences in adhesion coefficients, it may lead to the vehicle swerving, spinning, losing directional control, or skidding.
