Starting & Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of stopping the car in too short
a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or
the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer
of water prevents adequate contact between
the tyres and the road surface.
The purpose of the ABS is to prevent the wheels from
locking while braking, thereby enabling the driver to retain
steering control of the car.
The fact that a car is fitted with ABS must never tempt
the driver into taking risks that could affect his/her safety
or that of other road users.
In all cases, it remains
the driver's responsibility to drive within normal safety
margins, having due consideration for prevailing weather
and traffic conditions.
Under normal braking conditions, ABS will not be
activated. However, once the braking force exceeds the
available adhesion between the tyres and the road surface,
thereby causing the wheels to lock, ABS will automatically
come into operation. This will be recognisable by a rapid
pulsation felt through the brake pedal.
