Why is that important?
♤ When brakes lock up on wet and slippery roads or during a panic stop, driver lose steering control and vehicle can spin.
♤ Rear wheel ABS prevents wheel lockup so that car stays in a straight line.
♤ If car has ABS control on all four wheels, driver also keep steering control.
♤ If driver have steering control, it is possible to avoid a crash by steering around hazards if a complete stop cannot be accomplished in time.
