ABS
It is ABS, the antilock braking system. It modulates brake pressure to prevent locking and helps preserve steering during braking. It does not guarantee a shorter distance on every surface or eliminate all uneven tyre wear. Maintain a safe following distance and follow the vehicle instructions.
