When it rains, the road is slippery and difficult to control, if there is an emergency in front of you, you step on the accelerator, the car will lose control because of the ground skidding, and then draw a "dragon" on the road, which is very scary, but if there is ABS in the car, there will be no problem.
1. What is the function of ABS?
ABS, also known as anti-lock braking system, is one of the main measures to ensure the safety of vehicles. Its function is to keep the car from being locked during the emergency braking process, and to maintain the steering function of the car to prevent accidents or reduce accidental injuries. Its working principle is very simple, that is, after the driver presses the brake pedal, the ABS sensor will detect the speed of each tire, once it finds signs of locking, ABS will intervene, through repeated relaxation and squeezing of the brake cylinder, to ensure that the wheels reach the best grip in the shortest time, so as to ensure the control and stability of the car.
Second, why should the vehicle be equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system?
If you don't have an ABS system, then in an emergency, the tires will lock up and then you will lose control and hit the person in front of you directly.
1. If the front wheel is stuck, the vehicle will not be able to turn and avoid the obstacles in front of it.
2. After the rear wheel is locked, it is easy to slip sideways, which makes the new car dangerous.
The role of the ABS system is to make the tires "roll and slide" during braking, so that the car does not lose control and gets the best braking performance.
3. If the ABS light suddenly turns on, it can be judged by the following three situations:
1. The ABS light is on, indicating that the self-test procedure is being executed, under normal circumstances, when you turn on the ignition switch or start the engine, the ABS light will be lit, and then the system will start to detect automatically, and when the test is over, the ABS light will be automatically turned off.
2. If the vehicle can still brake normally under the normal braking system, but the ABS warning light is still on, in this case, it is very likely that there is a problem with the ABS system and you need to find a professional to repair it with a diagnostic instrument.
3. If the ABS warning light and brake warning light are on, it means that there are problems with the ABS and the brake system, and the braking performance will also change. In the latter case, stop immediately, check the brake fluid level, and find a professional to repair it.
When it rains, the ground is very wet, the ABS system can not give the shortest braking distance, if the driving distance is too close, the brakes are too late, or can not prevent the accident, therefore, in the case of rain, we recommend that the driver must pay attention to their driving safety when it rains.
