Question:
ABS will not allow you to drive faster, follow more closely or drive less carefully.
ABS won't prevent power or turning skids. ABS should prevent brake-induced skids but not those caused by
spinning the drive wheels or going too fast in a turn.
ABS won't necessarily shorten stopping distance. ABS will help maintain vehicle control but not always shorten
stopping distance.
ABS won't increase or decrease ultimate stopping power. ABS is an add-on to your normal brakes, not a re
placement for them.
ABS won't change the way you normally brake. Under normal brake conditions, your vehicle will stop as it always
stopped. ABS only comes into play when a wheel would normally have locked up because of over braking.
ABS won't compensate for bad brakes or poor brake maintenance.
The best vehicle safety feature is still a safe driver.
Drive so you never need to use your ABS.
If you need it, ABS could help to prevent a serious crash.
