It's not what you think! Talk about two misunderstandings of ABS

The anti lock braking device, that is, the ABS known to card friends, as the name suggests, can prevent the brake from locking under the action of ABS when braking, and can maintain certain controllability to the vehicle even when braking hard, so as to increase the safety in case of accidents. Therefore, the state requires the mandatory installation of ABS for trucks with a total mass of more than 4.5 tons. However, the effect of ABS system assembled is uneven. After buying a car and returning to use it, card friends found that it was not the case, which caused many card friends to distrust and misunderstand ABS. Today, let's talk about two misunderstandings about ABS.

● misunderstanding 1: the car cannot be braked with ABS

The function of ABS system is to prevent wheel locking. Although the ABS system can not guarantee to shorten the braking distance, ABS can still ensure a certain degree of controllability of the vehicle on slippery roads or in case of emergency braking, so that the vehicle will not lose control of the direction and ensure driving safety to a certain extent. However, in the early stage, the braking frequency of many domestic ABS manufacturers could not meet the requirements, or there was a problem with the control logic, which directly led to the decline of vehicle braking capacity. In the braking process, the vehicle braking distance was long, giving people the feeling that the vehicle could not be braked. In addition, some ABS products still lock the wheels when braking, which has no effect at all.

There is a long-standing misunderstanding that ABS brakes cannot hold the car. In fact, the ABS system that can work normally and effectively has no impact on the braking force. ABS only works when the wheels are about to lock up. During daily deceleration braking, ABS does not participate in the work. The braking force will not decrease because of ABS. Therefore, card users do not have to stay away from ABS. Choosing a reliable ABS product will not only ensure safety to a certain extent, but also save some tires, which is the best of both worlds.

● misunderstanding 2: if 6-channel ABS is installed, it will not get out of control

For the sake of safety, some card users have converted their 6x4 tractor and 3-axle trailer into a 6-channel ABS system. Compared with the 4-channel system, the 6-channel system can ensure the safety during braking. However, some card users are very casual when driving the vehicle after installing it. They think that this system can ensure safety at any time, relax the safety line, and there have been some accidents. The car is driven by people. No matter how good ABS performance is, it only plays an auxiliary role. It doesn't mean that you can rest easy after installing it.

In the final analysis, ABS is only a passive safety system. Even the 6-channel system only improves the performance of ABS to a certain extent and makes your vehicle safer. However, when the adjustment frequency of ABS is exceeded, the vehicle will still be out of control.
