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.
