Owners Manual

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.
