Question

When vehicle wheels are about to lock, the ABS senses the impending lock up and prevents this from occurring. a) True b) False 2 Question 2 Electronic stability control reduces the risk of rollover crashes, such as are common with SUVs. a) True b) False 3 Question 3 _______________have the ability to control wheel lock on all four tires. a) Four-wheel anti-lock brakes b) Rear-wheel anti-lock brakes c) All anti-lock brakes d) None of the above

Answer 1

1. a) True

2. a) True

3. a) Four-wheel anti-lock brakes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. True

When a wheel skids, there is less traction with the road and the vehicle is out of the driver's control

Breaks that have ABS are prevented from functioning fully in a situation where the contact between the tire and the road patch is broken and the tire is able to skid. Once the tire regains and maintains proper contact with the road surface such that the skidding has ceased, the full functionality of the brakes are restored, enabling the moving vehicle to stop faster and the steering to remain operational

2. True

A vehicle that has a standard Electronic Stability Control, ESC, is less likely to rollover. According to a University of Michigan Transport Research Institute study, SUVs equipped with an ESC are 73% less likely to have fatal rollover crashes

3. a) Four-wheel anti-lock brakes

The four-wheel anti-lock *four-wheel ABS) brakes works such that each wheel has a sensor through which if is detected that the wheel is about to lock, the ABS, ESC releases the break pad on the wheel such that the wheel keeps spinning
