BDifficulty 2/5

When carrying out emergency braking in a vehicle equipped with ABS, you must press...

Correct answer

the brake pedal fully without releasing it.

Press the brake firmly and maintain pressure during emergency braking; do not pump it or release it because of normal ABS pulsation. The system modulates pressure when it detects a tendency to lock and helps preserve steering ability. It does not guarantee prevention of every skid or collision or create grip where none exists. In a manual vehicle, clutch use should follow the emergency technique specified for that vehicle.
