ABS only activate IF the system detect the wheel slipping
it wont activate even if u brake suddenly because the system detect that the wheel is still spinning, NOT slipping...
nope... even if u pump the brakes on the ABS car, the ABS still works
u cannot pump faster then ABS...
i pump my car which is equipped with ABS and the ABS still works
Wheel slipping I assume means locking of wheels? Well, this mostly happens when you brake quickly, mar. it wont activate even if u brake suddenly because the system detect that the wheel is still spinning, NOT slipping...

When you pump your brakes, you're actually reducing the ABS' efficiency.

i dun think so as he is an offroad driver.he knows how to drive and has his company professional license. he mentioned it is very dangerous if u duno how to drive an ABS ride as the brake lock system needs technique. a panic brake wont stop ur ride, but it will act like there's no brake at all.
ABS is meant to stop wheel lock, not stop sliding. It just so happens stopping wheel lock reduces sliding in most road situations. That's all. i dun think so as he is an offroad driver.he knows how to drive and has his company professional license. he mentioned it is very dangerous if u duno how to drive an ABS ride as the brake lock system needs technique. a panic brake wont stop ur ride, but it will act like there's no brake at all.

Do cars with ABS stop more quickly than cars without? ABS is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle during emergency braking situations, not make the car stop more quickly. ABS may shorten stopping distances on wet or slippery roads and many systems will shorten stopping distances on dry roads. On very soft surfaces, such as loose gravel or unpacked snow, an ABS system may actually lengthen stopping distances. In wet or slippery conditions, you should still make sure you drive carefully, always keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you, and maintain a speed consistent with the road conditions.
I'm sure your friend has a good reason for telling you this. Maybe it's due to him being offroad all the time. The quote above explains that ABS actually increases stopping distance in offroad situations.

Do know the difference between between four-wheel and two- or rear-wheel ABS. Most cars and many trucks have four-wheel ABS. But some light trucks have only rear-wheel ABS; with rear-wheel ABS, the front wheels can still lock up during hard braking. If this happens, you should ease up on the brake pedal with just enough pressure to allow the front wheels to roll again so you can steer.
Or maybe your friend drives light trucks with only rear wheel ABS?

To properly apply the brakes in an ABS equipped car during a panic stop, simply step on the brake pedal with as much force as you can. You will feel the ABS pulse back through the brake pedal, but this is a normal part of their operation. Likewise, you may hear noises not familiar to you in normal vehicle operation. Continue to brake with maximum pressure as you steer to avoid whatever is in your path. Never pump the brake pedal on an ABS equipped vehicle, as you will defeat the ABS function and lose vacuum assist to the brakes, which will reduce your cars braking ability.

How to Use ABS
"Stomp and steer," Hurd said. Don't treat ABS gingerly as you would ordinary brakes. Instead of pumping, press hard on the pedal without letting up. Any pulsing you feel or noise you hear is the ABS doing its job.
All four articles above mention about how u need to press your brakes fully. Not be gentle with it."Stomp and steer," Hurd said. Don't treat ABS gingerly as you would ordinary brakes. Instead of pumping, press hard on the pedal without letting up. Any pulsing you feel or noise you hear is the ABS doing its job.
Me and my friends have tested on a few cars previously, where we drive on an empty road at night up to 100 km/h and we slam the brakes as hard as we can. We definitely felt the ABS kick in.

Wanna ask a question, if my car's left front wheel hits the ditch for a few meters, after repaired my car the whole cabin vibration is so loud when I put it to D or R. When the air-con compressor kicks in, the whole dashboard and steering wheel is like going to fall off. Does it mean that something is loose or this might be the aftermath after having an accident?
It sounds like your transmission mounting or engine mounting koyak edi. Better do what coolkwc said. Send it to the workshop to get it fixed.This post has been edited by +Newbie+: Sep 10 2010, 03:24 PM
