ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System)

The anti-lock braking system or ABS has been developed to obtain maximum braking effect with maintained stability in the most varying conditions. Many factors have a bearing on the final braking distance, e.g. weather conditions, condition of the road surface, current traffic situation and the braking force employed. ABS is a modulating function that utilizes maximum braking capacity in critical situations in varying road conditions.
