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. With

four-wheel

anti-lock:

If one of

the

wheels

is

about to stop rolling,

the computer will

separately work

the

brakes

at each front wheel

and

atthe rear

wheels. The

four-wheel

anti-lock

system

can change the

brake

pressure

faster

than any

driver could. With

rear-wheel

anti-lock:

If one

of

the

rear

wheels

is about

to

stop rolling,

the computer will

work

the

brakes

at

the

rear

wheels. The

computer

is

programmed

to

make

the

most

of

available

tire

and

road

conditions.

As

you

brake, your computer keeps

receiving

updates

on

wheel

speed

and

controls

braking

pressure

accordingly.

Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the

time you

need

to

get

your foot up

to the

brake

pedal. If

you get too close

to

the

vehicle

in

front

of

you,

you

won't

have

time

to

apply

your

brakes

if

that

vehicle

suddenly

slows or

stops. Always leave enough room

up

ahead

to

stop, even

though

you have

anti-lock

brakes.
