Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
The greatest braking efficiency of the car is achieved not when the wheels have stopped (locked) and skid along the road, and when they continue to roll through May with a little slippage. blocking (stop) wheels is also dangerous because it causes the car to skid (especially on slippery roads when the rear wheels are locked). Therefore, installing an anti-lock braking system on a car reduces the braking distance of the car and improves safety.
The system constantly monitors the speed of rotation of all wheels and automatically adjusts the pressure in them, preventing blocking.
The operation of the ABS is felt by the driver as a slight vibration of the brake pedal during braking.
The anti-skid system does not require special activation - it always works as long as the ignition is on. If the ABS fails, the brake system continues to work and allows you to stop the car in normal mode. The corresponding warning device notifies the driver about the failure of the ABS.
Traction control
The vehicle is equipped with a traction control system. The system prevents the vehicle's wheels from spinning when accelerating hard, driving uphill, or in any other situation where the traction force may exceed the traction force of the wheels with the road. This prevents the vehicle from skidding and causing an emergency in connection with this.
The system can be turned on or off, for which there is a switch on the front panel to the left of the steering column (next to the dimmer switch). When the system is turned off, the TCS OFF indicator light on the instrument panel lights up. The vehicle's self-diagnostic system continuously monitors the traction control system for proper operation. If a system malfunction is detected while driving, the TCS warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel. During normal operation of the system while driving, the TCS indicator flashes when the system performs its function - limiting tractive power.
