Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **ABS braking system** (Anti-lock Braking System) is an active safety device in vehicles that allows maintaining control of the car during an emergency braking.
- **Emergency braking with ABS**: When performing an emergency braking in a vehicle equipped with ABS, it is important to **press the brake pedal firmly and fully** until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
- **Pedal vibration**: The vibration felt in the brake pedal is a sign that the ABS is working correctly. This vibration indicates that the system is preventing the wheels from locking, allowing you to maintain steering and control of the vehicle.
- **Do not lift your foot off the pedal**: Unlike vehicles without ABS, where it is necessary to slightly lift your foot off the pedal to prevent the wheels from locking, in a vehicle with ABS **you should not lift your foot off the pedal**. The correct action is to continue pressing the pedal fully so that the system can function optimally.
Therefore, in an emergency braking situation with ABS, we must **continue braking fully** to ensure a safe and controlled stop of the vehicle.
