Honda tourer, Owner'S Manual

The hydraulic system that operates
the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the vehicle (the left-front brake is
connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit should develop a
problem, you will still have braking
at two wheels.
The ABS also balances the front-to-
rear braking distribution according
to vehicle loading.
Your vehicle has an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) as standard
equipment. The ABS helps to
prevent the wheels from locking up
and skidding during hard braking,
allowing you to retain steering
control.
When the front tyres skid, you lose
steering control; the vehicle
continues straight ahead even
though you turn the steering wheel.
The ABS helps to prevent lock-up
and helps you retain steering control
by pumping the brakes rapidly; much
faster than a person can do it.
