The
anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
I
faster than any driver could. The computer is
programmed
to
make the most
of
available tire
and
road conditions.
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.
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.
