SAFETY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
01
ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS): (If fitted)
ABS is a safety system that allows
efficient braking without losing
tractional control, prevents wheels from
locking up and avoids uncontrolled
skidding.
The Anti-Lock Braking System
monitors the rotational speed of each
wheel. During emergency braking ABS
controls the braking force of each
wheel. If it detects a wheel rotating
significantly slower than the others, a
condition indicative of impending wheel
lock it actuates the valves to reduce
hydraulic pressure to the brake at the
affected wheel thereby reducing the
brake force on that wheel. When ABS
is active the driver will feel the brake
pedal pulsate several times and a
sound may be audible from the ABS
module.
NOTE
If the ABS warning lamp lights up
then there is a malfunction in the
ABS system (the standard braking
system will however function) and the
vehicle should be driven cautiously
to the nearest
TATA MOTORS
Authorized Service outlet.
WARNINGS
The fact that a vehicle is fitted with
ABS must never tempt the driver into
taking risks that could affect his/her
safety or that of others. In all cases
it remains the driver’s responsibility
to drive within safety margins,
taking into consideration prevailing
weather and traffic conditions.
