Anti-blocking system of brakes


Existence on the car антиблокировоч ache systems (ABS) are raised significantly by degree of active safety of the car. The main advantage of the working brakes equipped with this system in front of ordinary working brake systems consists that even at intensive braking to a full stop on the slippery road the best remains on a condition of a paving controllability of the car as wheels are not blocked.

However it is not necessary to expect that thanks to ABS under all road conditions the brake way will be reduced. At the movement on gravel or on the fresh snow lying on a slippery paving when it is already necessary to move slowly and carefully, the brake way can even increase.

Action of ABS

At achievement automatic check работоспо ABS sobnost happens the car of speed of the movement of 6 km/h. At the same time it is possible to hear a characteristic sound.

When the district speed of any wheel becomes less than the speed of the car and the wheel is on the verge of blocking, pressure in the drive of the brake mechanism of this wheel decreases. Regulation of pressure in the drive is carried out separately on forward wheels, pressure in the drive upon both wheels is behind regulated. Thanks to it braking of both back wheels is identical, and stability of the car remains so good as far as it in general is possible under these road conditions. This process of regulation can be noticed on the pulsing movements of a pedal of a brake and on a specific sound. It has to be some kind of prevention for the driver that one or several wheels begin to be blocked. In order that ABS worked optimum, it is necessary to hold when braking a pedal of a brake constantly pressed and not to do the pumping-up movements at all.


Even ABS cannot overcome laws of physics. It is necessary not to forget about it, especially at movement along the slippery or wet road. As soon as AVS begins to function actively, it is necessary to bring immediately the speed of the movement into accord with a condition of a paving and the general traffic conditions. The raised degree of safety of the car does not mean that it is possible to risk recklessly own safety and safety of other people.

If there is any malfunction in ABS, about it one or two control lamps signal.
