abs brake system

You're driving in traffic, minding your own business when suddenly a box falls out of the lorry in front of you. Reflexes take over, you brake hard, but realise you can't stop in time. You then swerve to avoid the rogue box. That evasive action wouldn't have been possible if your car wasn't equipped with Anti-lock Braking System, (ABS). Even though many, if not most new cars are now equipped with ABS, most car owners don't know how it works or how it benefits them. I've had friends come to me an

ABS stands for anti-lock braking system which as its name suggests, is a system that prevents the wheels from locking up (stops spinning) while the car is still moving. If the wheels are locked up and there’s an object in front, the car would just plow straight ahead regardless of how much steering input it receives. If you’ve ridden a bike with well-functioning brakes and just brake really hard, chances are you’ll notice the wheel stopping/locking up especially the rear but the bike is still mo

Parking brake is a safety mechanism that prevents a stationary car from rolling away. Parking brake is also commonly referred to handbrake because of its hand-operated lever. However, there are also different types of parking brake such as foot-operated pedal (footbrake) as well as the increasingly common electric parking brake (EPB). Each of these parking brakes has its benefits, but which is the best? First, we will explain how each parking brake works. The manual handbrake and footbrake work

One of the warning lights in your car is the ABS warning light. ABS stands for anti-lock braking system, and it ensures you have complete control of your car in emergency braking situations. What does a glowing ABS warning light mean? Unless you see leaking brake fluid, the most common reason for the ABS warning light is a faulty wheel speed sensor. In fact, some car brands have this as a recurring problem. There are other reasons for failed ABS systems too, albeit less prevalent. Some refer to

Although ABS has been around for years, many still do not understand how ABS actually works. It is generally known that ABS has something to do with the car brakes during heavy braking, but the common misconception is that it helps you brake better. It doesn’t, let us explain. ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. Yes, it has something to do with car brakes, but it doesn’t help the car stop faster. Instead, it works to keep the driver in control when under heavy braking.

If you have a car that’s been parked for a little bit too long, you will start to notice rust forming on the brake discs/rotors.

你正在车流中专心地行驶着，突然，从前面的货车上掉下了一个箱子。你下意识地猛踩煞车，然后意识到你没办法及时停下，于是你只能转向来躲避这个可恶的箱子。 如果你的车子没有防锁死煞车系统（ABS）的话，你是无法完成上述的躲避动作的。虽然绝大部分的新车都配备了ABS系统，但大多数车主并不清楚它的原理，也不知道如何正确利用好这个功能。 我曾经有好几个朋友都觉得他们的煞车出了问题，因为在踩煞车的时候，他们的煞车踏板会有抖动的现象。每次当我要求重现一下那个情景之后，我都只能礼貌地指出，他们的煞车系统没问题，这只是ABS系统工作的正常现象罢了。 简单地说，在ABS系统侦测到煞车力度过大，会导致轮子锁死时，它就会间歇性地放开煞车。所以在ABS启动时，煞车踏板就会出现抖动的现象。因为有了煞车踏板的抖动，你的轮子就不至于锁死。这个功能之所以很重要，原因就在于如果你的轮子在煞车时锁死了，那么不管你再怎么转动方向盘，你都无法控制车子的转向了。 通过让轮子保持转动（就算在重煞车下），就算你不能及时煞停，你也能够操纵车子躲避障碍。看看下面的视频，了解一下在紧急情况下，ABS是如何帮助驾驶员的。 同时也要记住，在紧急情
