Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking preventing the wheels from locking up ( ceasing rotation ) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding.

­ Anti-lock braking systems use different schemes depending on the type of brakes in use.

Just as ESC is founded on the Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ), ESC is the foundation for new advances such as Roll Stability Control ( RSC )

Donkervoorts motto-" No Compromise "-means driving without any electronic aids such as ABS ( Anti-lock braking system ), Electronic stability program ( ESP ) or power steering.

The 1971 Imperial is notable for being the first production car in America with a 4-wheel Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) from Bendix, a rarely selected option at that time.

Standard features include Limited slip differential, Xenon headlights, Rear window wiper, Driver airbag, Front passenger airbag, Anti-lock braking system, Traction control, Front seat belt pre-tensioners, Front seat belt force limiters, Rear seat lap sash belt, Child seat attachment, Side impact protection bars, Power windows, Central door locking, Steering wheel height adjust, Leather steering wheel, Alloy wheels and Ultraviolet reducing glass.

There are disc brakes on all four wheels, and emergency stops are improved with the Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) and Brake Assist System ( BAS ), standard on the Mercedes Benz A-Class.

Anti-lock braking systems use wheel speed sensors and vehicle speed sensors to determine if any of the wheels have stopped turning.

Anti-lock brakes can be much more effective than cadence braking which is essentially a non-automatic technique for doing the same thing.

Anti-lock braking was standard.

Anti-lock braking ( ABS ) is a similar safety critical technology, whilst not completely ' by-wire ', it has the ability to electronically intervene contrary to the driver's demand.

Anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, and 4 x 20 W Philips sound system with steering-wheel-mounted controls optional.

The FJ Cruiser uses power-assisted 4-piston front / 2-piston rear ventilated disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ), Electronic Brake-force Distribution ( EBD ), Brake Assist ( BA ) and is also equipped with Vehicle Stability Control ( VSC ) and a specialized traction control system known as ( A-TRAC ).

In 1971 Nissan offered EAL ( Electro Anti-lock System ) as an option on the Nissan President, this became Japan's first electronic ABS ( Anti-lock braking system ).

In the same year, Nissan offered an EAL ( Electro Anti-lock System ) as an option on the Nissan President, which became Japan's first electronic ABS.

Anti-lock brakes are the subject of some experiments centred around risk compensation theory, which asserts that drivers adapt to the safety benefit of ABS by driving more aggressively.

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.

In 1989, for the 10th anniversary of the G Model, a new model variant with permanent 4-wheel drive, a wood-trimmed interior and optional Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) debuted at the Frankfurt International Motor Show.

Anti-lock brakes ( ABS ) were standard, with traction control optional.

Anti-lock brakes ( ABS ) were standard, with traction control optional.

As mentioned above some of the typical electronic modules on today's vehicles are the Engine Control Unit ( ECU ), the Transmission Control Unit ( TCU ), the Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) and body control modules ( BCM ).

The only changes were the addition of an Anti-lock Brakes System ( ABS ) as standard equipment for all Grand Am SE's ( not available to LE's ), and all 1991 model year cars received a redesigned " short throw " shifter ( if opted with a five-speed transmission ).

The Audi Driving Experience is structured in a number of tiered programmes, and usually includes practising emergency manoeuvres utilising Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) and Electronic Stability Programme ( ESP ) systems.

The Electronic Stability Control ( ESP ) and Anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) are both aids to handling, making such feats as a 90 ’ degree turn on a typical two lane intersection from possible using simple hard braking and turning with no significant fishtailing.

Bosch Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) with EDS was also standard.

Bosch ESP 5. 7 Electronic Stability Programme, with Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ), Brake Assist, and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution ( EBD ) completed the brake system.

A Bosch ESP 8. 0 Electronic Stability Programme, with Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ), Brake Assist, and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution ( EBD ) completed the brake system.

Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ), drivers airbag, and seat belt tensioners were also available.

* Optional ABS ( Anti-lock braking system )

Anti-lock brakes with traction control was an option on all models.

* 2002: Anti-lock brakes with traction control were standard this year, along with curtain side airbags.

* 2004: Anti-lock brakes and traction control were standard again, the automatic air conditioning was discontinued ( leaving all models with the manual air conditioning ), and the manual transmission was dropped, leaving all models with a four-speed automatic.

ARP builds on Electronic stability control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle – Anti-lock braking system, traction control and yaw control.

Anti-lock brakes, brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution were standard, Vehicle Stability Control w / traction control optional on 2001 – 03 models became standard for 2004 models ( Hybrids come standard with VDIM ).
