Question

Which of the following is true about the anti-locking brake system?

A. ABS is activated only when you make sudden, emergency stops.
B. You need to maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal to activate ABS.
C. With ABS you are able to steer as you slow down.
D. Pump the brake pedal to activate the ABS.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. With ABS, you are able to steer as you slow down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are designed to prevent the wheels from locking up or skidding during braking. This allows the driver to maintain control and steer the vehicle while slowing down.

ABS works by using sensors to monitor the rotational speed of each wheel. If the system detects that one or more wheels are about to lock up, it automatically modulates the brake pressure to that wheel or wheels to prevent a skid. This modulation of brake pressure allows the driver to continue steering the vehicle even during hard braking.
