In an emergency braking situation, how should you act?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
To perform an **emergency braking**, it is important to act differently depending on the type of brakes the vehicle has: **conventional or ABS**.
- **Vehicles without ABS**: You should press the brake pedal firmly and fully. When you feel the wheels start to lock, lift your foot slightly off the brake to avoid total wheel lock, but continue braking.
- **Vehicles with ABS**: Press the brake pedal firmly and fully and keep it that way until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The ABS system will prevent the wheels from locking, allowing you to maintain control of the vehicle.
Therefore, it is crucial to know the type of brakes your vehicle has to apply the appropriate technique in an emergency situation.
