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 slowingdown. With four-wheel anti-lock: If one of the wheelsis about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes ateach 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 isabout 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 that vehicle suddenly slowsor if stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. 4-6
