Why does the brake make a creaking sound and fail to stop on snowy roads?
1 Answers
It is normal for the brake to make a creaking sound and fail to stop on snowy roads, as this is the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) in action. The function of ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up during braking by automatically controlling the braking force, ensuring the wheels maintain a rolling and sliding state (with a slip ratio of around 20%). This maximizes the traction between the wheels and the road surface. Considerations when purchasing a car: Although ABS can shorten braking distance, different types of ABS systems vary significantly in price due to differences in their components and structure. Therefore, when purchasing a car, one should not only consider the price but also the type of ABS system installed.
