Correct answer
Prevent wheel lock by regulating braking pressure.
It regulates braking pressure to prevent wheel lock, helping preserve the ability to steer. It does not itself multiply pedal force or guarantee stability or control in every situation. Available grip, speed and road condition still limit braking. With working ABS, follow the manufacturer’s braking procedure and do not pump the pedal.
