Safety tips while driving with
ABS
1) During a hard braking or when
the road grip is poor, you will
feel an audible noise in the
system. This is absolutely
Normal and it’s the indication
that your ABS is rapidly
modulator air pressure. Do not
release the brake pedal, this
defeats the purpose of ABS.
Keep firm steady pressure on
the brake pedal so as not to
interrupt the braking action as
long as you steer away from
the hazard.
2) ABS prevents the wheel from
locking but it does not increase
actual tyre to road grip. Hence
even if your vehicle is fitted
with ABS, maintain a safe
following distance.
3) ABS does not reduce either
time or stopping distance, It
only helps steering control
during braking. You should
always keep a safe distance
from other vehicles.
4) ABS will not prevent skidding
of a vehicle that results from
changing direction abruptly
such as trying to take a corner
too fast or making a sudden
lane change.
5) ABS cannot prevent a loss of
stability due to severe or sharp
steering wheel movement.
Always steer moderately while
braking hard.
4.10 Brake system Maintenance
6) ABS requires a little longer
stopping distance than a
vehicle with conventional
brake system on a loose or
uneven surface, such as gravel
or snow. Slow down and allow
a safe following distance.
7) ABS serves to increase your
control over the vehicle not to
enable you to go faster.
