Technical and Vehicle Safety
When using a vehicle equipped with ABS in an emergency stop, you should:
- ○Pump the brake pedal rapidly yourself to simulate the ABS action
- ✓Apply firm, continuous pressure to the brake pedal and steer around the obstacle if necessary
- ○Release the brake pedal every two seconds to allow the wheels to spin
- ○Engage the handbrake simultaneously to shorten stopping distance
Correct answer
Apply firm, continuous pressure to the brake pedal and steer around the obstacle if necessary
With ABS you should press the brake pedal firmly and hold it; the system modulates braking automatically, and you can continue steering to avoid the hazard.
