Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In emergency braking with ABS, the brake pedal must be pressed fully and the pressure maintained, even if vibrations are felt. The system regulates the braking to prevent the wheels from locking and to help retain the ability to steer the vehicle within the available grip; it does not guarantee being able to avoid any obstacle. Releasing the brake to make turning easier wastes what the ABS does in this emergency braking. Disengaging the clutch does not replace that action and is not what prevents the wheels from locking: that function belongs to the anti-lock system.
