The steering wheel sensor also helps in the operation of Cornering Brake Control ( CBC ), since this will tell the ABS that wheels on the inside of the curve should brake more than wheels on the outside, and by how much.

; Valves: There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS.

# The ABS controller knows that such a rapid deceleration is impossible, so it reduces the pressure to that brake until it sees an acceleration, then it increases the pressure until it sees the deceleration again.

# When the ABS system is in operation the driver will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal ; this comes from the rapid opening and closing of the valves.

In vehicles equipped with ABS, your foot should remain firmly planted on the brake pedal, while ABS pumps the brakes for you so you can concentrate on steering to safety.

When activated, some earlier ABS systems caused the brake pedal to pulse noticeably.

The ATTESA-ETS Pro was also advertised in brochures as adding an electronically controlled 4-channel ABS brake system.

* Electronic traction control systems usually use the anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) roadwheel speed sensors to detect a spinning roadwheel, and apply the brake to that wheel.

In addition to the available anti-lock brake system ( ABS ), a traction control system was optional as well.

ABS was available as an option on the 4-wheel disc brake models, though not in North America.

Servo-assisted ABS brakes were ruled out as they would imply increased mass, complexity and reduced brake feel ; however at the cost of increasing the required skill of the driver.

ESC is built on top of an anti-lock brake ( ABS ) system, and all ESC-equipped vehicles are fitted with traction control.

When the traction control computer ( often incorporated into another control unit, like the anti-lock braking system module ) detects one or more driven wheels spinning significantly faster than another, it invokes the ABS electronic control unit to apply brake friction to wheels spinning with lessened traction.

Every game has some form of car tuning that can be set by toggling options on and off ( i. e. ABS, or traction control ), adjusting options ( i. e. front downforce, rear downforce, brake bias, gear ratios ) or upgrading parts ( i. e. engine, gearbox ).

It is controlled by a drive-by-wire throttle and a six-speed Electrohydraulic manual transmission. The standard Vanquish model had drilled and ventilated disc brakes with four-pot calipers, ABS, with electronic brake distribution.

Some updated features the Santana has been include with are Bosch electronic fuel injection system, a 5-speed manual, a third brake light, improved back seats, hydraulic clutch, MP3 and CD compatible radios, ABS brakes with electronic brake distribution.

The Santana 3000 was also the first in the Chinese developed Santana series to be available with optional ABS brakes with electronic brake distribution, electronic differential system, a multi function display system, and a sunroof designed by the German Webasto company.

There are at least three studies which show that drivers ' response to antilock brakes is to drive faster, follow closer and brake later, accounting for the failure of ABS to result in any measurable improvement in road safety.

For example, in a Munich study, part of a fleet of taxicabs were equipped with anti-lock brakes ( ABS ), while the remainder had conventional brake systems.

Other automotive safety systems include anti-lock braking system ( ABS ), Electronic Stability Control ( ESC / ESP ), traction control ( TCS ) and automatic four-wheel drive.

Luxury SUVs typically offer the most expected safety features including side airbags, ABS and traction control, and many of them also come with electronic stability control, crash resistant door pillars, dynamic head restraints and back-up sensing systems.

Many technologies that have featured in production cars are not allowed, for example: variable valve timing, variable intake geometry, ABS brakes and traction control.

ABS equipment may also be used to implement a traction control system ( TCS ) on acceleration of the vehicle.

If, when accelerating, the tire loses traction, the ABS controller can detect the situation and take suitable action so that traction is regained.

; Controller: The controller is an ECU type unit in the car which receives information from each individual wheel speed sensor, in turn if a wheel loses traction the signal is sent to the controller, the controller will then limit the brakeforce ( EBD ) and activate the ABS modulator which actuates the braking valves on and off.

Bosch was an early manufacturer of Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ), and as time passed, Bosch became a leader in such specialized fields as traction control systems ( TCS ), the Electronic Stability Program ( ESP ), body electronics ( such as central locking, doors, windows and seats ), and oxygen sensors, injectors and fuel pumps.

As well as a lightweight chassis and bodywork, Caterham Sevens achieve their very low mass through their lack of comfort and safety oriented features such as a fixed roof, doors, radio, air-conditioning, airbags, traction / stability control, ABS, satellite navigation or cruise control.

Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) and city-speed traction control became available as an option, and saw a 60 % uptake in the first year.

Other automotive safety systems include anti-lock braking system ( ABS ), electronic stability control ( ESC / ESP ), traction control ( TCS ) and automatic four-wheel drive.

The most common aids are traction control ( TC ), anti-lock brakes ( ABS ), steering assistance, damage resistance, clutch assistance and automatic gear changes.

* CD: included " City " features, plus: 15-inch alloy wheels, a CD Player, ABS brakes, traction control, air conditioning, electronic mirrors, and power windows.

A traction control system ( TCS ), also known as anti-slip regulation ( ASR ), is typically ( but not necessarily ) a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels.

They also offer adaptive headlights, traction control, ABS, tire pressure monitors, and a variety of sound systems.

The area is designed to give drivers a greater understanding of the latest ABS, traction control and crash mitigating technologies, and the way that they affect vehicle control.

Detail improvements have also been made to Mitsubishi ’ s own electronic four-wheel drive, to the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction control, and to the Sports ABS systems.

Forester L comes with a high level of standard equipment, including ABS, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, cruise control, digital temp gauge, multi-reflector halogen headlights, fog lights, roof rack, rear window defogger, trailer harness connector, reclining front bucket seats with adjustable lumbar support, tilt steering, tinted glass, AM / FM / cassette stereo with its antenna laminated in the left-rear quarter window, 24-hour roadside assistance.

* X-Air conditioning, CD player, power windows, ABS and cruise control.

ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces for many drivers ; however, on loose surfaces like gravel or snow-covered pavement, ABS can significantly increase braking distance, although still improving vehicle control.

Modern electronic stability control systems are an evolution of the ABS concept.

There are many different variations and control algorithms for use in ABS.

In such situations, ABS will significantly reduce the chances of a skid and subsequent loss of control.

The primary benefit of ABS on such surfaces is to increase the ability of the driver to maintain control of the car rather than go into a skid, though loss of control remains more likely on soft surfaces like gravel or slippery surfaces like snow or ice.

Nevertheless, ABS significantly improves safety and control for drivers in most on-road situations.

Typically the biggest processor is the engine control unit ( also engine control module / ECM or Powertrain Control Module / PCM in automobiles ); others are used for transmission, airbags, antilock braking / ABS, cruise control, electric power steering / EPS, audio systems, windows, doors, mirror adjustment, battery and recharging systems for hybrid / electric cars, etc.
