Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road
is
wet.
You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out
in
front
of
you.
You
slam
on
the brakes. Here’s what happens
with
ABS.
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If
one
of
the
wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the
rear wheels.
The
anti-lock system
can
change the brake pressure
faster
than
any driver could. The computer
is
programmed
to
make the most
of
available tire and road
conditions.
You
can steer around
the
obstacle while braking hard.
As
you brake. your computer keeps receiving updates
on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
