ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
– AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL
(ATC) – ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC)
The purpose of the Antilock Braking System
(ABS) is to maintain vehicle stability and control
during braking and to minimize the stopping
distance in any road condition.
On slippery roads and more generally in
emergency situations, over-braking frequently
induces wheel locking. Wheel locking greatly
increases breaking distance on any road
