Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

♤ An antilock braking system works with the regular or foundation brakes on vehicle.

♤ ABS simply keeps base brakes from locking up. In vehicles not equipped with ABS, the driver can manually pump the brakes to prevent wheel lockup.

♤ In vehicles equipped with ABS, the driver's foot remains firmly on the brake pedal, allowing the system to automatically pump the brakes.
