When ABS activates during an emergency stop you feel a pulse in the pedal. What should you do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Keep the pedal pressed firmly and steer
- Step 1: The pulse shows that ABS is working. Step 2. Hold the pedal down. Answer: Keep the pedal pressed firmly and steer. Why not the others: Release the pedal at once and brake again: you lose braking. Pump the pedal repeatedly to help the system: this defeats the system. Switch off the engine to reset the system: unrelated and unsafe.
