ABS anti-lock braking system is one of the cornerstones of active vehicle safety. Its function is to prevent the wheels locking during braking, and thus the loss of adhesion between wheel and road. Vehicle's ABS system is operable even under heavy braking.

ABS Anti-lock Braking System is one of the basic elements of active vehicle safety. ABS prevents wheel lock during braking. The wheel ABS system is still rotates and thus prevents the loss of adhesion between wheel and road. Rolling with the wheel helps maintain the stability, manageability and controlling of the vehicle in extreme situations (such as hard braking or when braking on slippery roads). Locked wheel does not transfer the lateral force and does not allow spin.

The system prevents the wheels from locking during braking that automatically adjusts the braking force in the stirrups so as to prevent the wheels from locking. When blocking wheels losing grip and the vehicle would become...Read More >>
