What is ABS?
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking, which can help maintain steering control and stability, particularly on slippery surfaces. ABS uses sensors to monitor wheel speed and a control module to adjust brake pressure, ensuring that your vehicle stops efficiently without skidding.
