Toyota Ireland released a short video to teach people how its ABS system works and keeps the driver in control of the car in a sudden hard braking situation.
ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which means that it will prevent your wheels from locking up under hard brake.
In a vehicle without ABS, pushing the brake too hard will lock up the the wheels, which will result in the loss of steering and a longer stopping distance. The ABS’ real-time monitoring sensors tell the ABS computer if one or more wheels lock up during braking, so the hydraulic pressure will be applied in a pulsing way to let the tire spin at the limit. That’s why your brake pedal vibrates when you apply the brake suddenly on a slippery road.
