In what way should you brake in an emergency situation, if the vehicle is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS)?
aFirmly press on the brake pedal without releasing it when the ABS system is activated.
bFirmly press on the brake pedal and slightly let up on it while the ABS system is activated.
cPress on the brake pedal using a pulsating action until the ABS system is activated.
Why?
The symbol represents ABS, the system that prevents the wheels from locking during braking. In an emergency, press the brake pedal firmly and maintain pressure even when the pedal starts to pulse. ABS regulates braking pressure automatically, so easing off or pumping the pedal can reduce braking effectiveness.
