Correct answer
Differently depending on whether my vehicle has conventional brakes or ABS.
If we are obliged to carry out emergency braking with our vehicle, we must act differently depending on whether or not it has an ABS braking system. If the vehicle does NOT have ABS and has conventional brakes, the driver should press the brake pedal firmly and fully, then progressively reduce the pressure to prevent the wheels from locking. If, on the other hand, it DOES have ABS, the driver should press the brake pedal firmly while also pressing the clutch pedal.
