How does it feel when ABS kicks in???
« on: August 22, 2008, 07:03:45 PM »
Hi all, how does it actually feel when ABS kicks in?

Was driving along PIE with heavy drizzle earlier when I realised that the car's not stopping when I stepped on my brakes. Moreover my speed was not too fast, around 50km/hr.

It took around 2.5m for my car to completely stop. Also felt that there was some noise at my brakes. Is that ABS?

Maybe should go for a check at TCM.  :unsure:

Abs by itself is not designed for tight turns. ABS maintains car's steerability by preventing wheel lock but it won't help very much in a bend because our cars don't have traction control.
Full traction control will vary the brake pressure between the left and right side and front and rear to prevent wheel lock/slip in a turn.
In any case, NEVER brake in a turn! Always decelerate then turn. If you brake in the turn, your rear may slide off or even worse, cause an overturn.
Apply power as you are leaving turn because for our front whee drive, it will help with the steering. :thumbsup:

I tot ABS only kicks in if u do eBrake or depressing the brake pedal hard to the floor.  I only encounter once at AYE when the car in front of me suddenly brake and i had to brake very hard.  This is where u feel the four tyres got something hold and release, hold and release a few times to stoppage.

Latio also has EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) feature that ensures that your car stays within the designated track when braking hard.
