Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Overview
		Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ABS helps keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops and helps you retain control over the steering during emergency braking. HBA works with ABS to help ensure that you get the maximum braking power from the brake system even if you don’t press the brakes completely.
