ABS means anti-braking lock system, it's a safety feature employed in modern cars. It allows the car to be steered by the driver while he engages the brakes, this helps to prevent skidding of the car. And stopping distances when the brake is engaged

ABS stands for Antilock Brake System. If the light stays on, then there is a problem with the ABS system. You will have normal braking but the ABS will not function.<br /><br />

abs means anti-lock breaking system.that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interaction tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs while braking,preventing the wheels from locking up and therefore avoiding skidding.abc therefore offers improve vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surface.

ABS means Automatic Brake Service. It's a device in car brake system which enables the car to stop smoothly and immediately it's applied.

ABS means anti-lock braking system<br />.<br />It is a safety system that<br />allows the wheels on a motor<br />vehicle to continue interacting<br />tractively with the road surface<br />as directed by driver steering<br />inputs while braking, preventing<br />the wheels from locking up (that<br />is, ceasing rotation) and<br />therefore avoiding skidding.<br />An ABS generally offers<br />improved vehicle control and<br />decreases stopping distances on<br />dry and slippery surfaces for<br />many drivers; however, on loose<br />surfaces like gravel or snow-<br />covered pavement, an ABS can<br />significantly increase braking<br />distance, although still improving<br />vehicle control.<br />Since initial widespread use in<br />production cars, anti-lock<br />braking systems have evolved<br />considerably. Recent versions<br />not only prevent wheel lock<br />under braking, but also<br />electronically control the front-<br />to-rear brake bias. This function,<br />depending on its specific<br />capabilities and implementation,<br />is known as electronic<br />brakeforce distribution (EBD),<br />traction control system,<br />emergency brake assist, or<br />electronic stability control (ESC).<br />

A.B.S. is an acronym for Anti-lock Braking System. It allows the driver to maintain control over steering, and in some situations, to reduce stopping distances during emergency braking, particularly on wet and slippery road surface.

Congratulations biola129, you provided the best answer to our question. Your N200 Etisalat PIN has been sent to you. As the name implies ABS prevents the brakes/wheels from locking when applied. This prevents skidding, making the vehicle easier to control. It is an essential safety features in most modern cars. It is often combined with EBD and traction control.

<br /><br />You guys are extremely good!

ABS means anti-braking locking mechanism, it's a protection function applied in contemporary vehicles. It allows the car to be steered by the car owner while he involves the avoiding system, this helps to avoid skidding of the car. And avoiding ranges when the avoiding mechanism is engaged.<br /><br />If you want to travel from London to Auckland. I can give you a cheap option for air ticket of Auckland.
