What does ABS do and how should you brake when it engages?

ABS disables the brakes to allow wheels to skid.

ABS prevents wheel lock during hard braking; apply firm, continuous pressure and steer as needed.

ABS is designed to keep you in control by preventing the wheels from locking up during hard braking. When it engages, you may feel the brake pedal pulse and hear a normal buzzing or grinding sound—that’s the system doing its job. Keep your foot firmly on the brake and don’t pump or release it. You can steer to avoid hazards while the brakes are working to stop you. On slippery surfaces, braking distance may be longer, but maintaining steady pressure and steering as needed gives you the best chance to stop safely and stay in control.

ABS increases engine power automatically.

ABS requires you to pump the brakes.
