Anti-Lock Brake System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery and 2017 Land Rover Discovery. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) controls the speed of all road wheels to ensure optimum wheel slip when braking at the adhesion limit. This prevents the wheels from locking in order to retain effective steering control of the vehicle.

The brake pressure is modulated separately for each wheel in order to maintain vehicle stability.
