CDifficulty 3/5

During emergency braking in a truck with correctly functioning ABS, if you also need to steer to avoid an obstacle, how should you use the brake pedal?

Correct answer

will press the brake pedal to the maximum.

Press the brake firmly and maintain pressure without pumping or releasing it because of ABS pulsations. The system modulates braking force to reduce wheel lock and retain steering capability. Steer along a feasible path: ABS does not guarantee avoiding a collision, remove grip limits or allow any turn at any speed. Disengaging the clutch does not replace braking or the ABS function.
