(Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Task/Benefits - GF42.30-P-0003-04GG)

MODEL 463.### ## up to 127356 up to 31.8.01 with CODE (B02) ABS brake system 

Task 

The "anti-lock brake system" (ABS)  is an active safety system. It prevents the wheels locking when braking and maintains the steerability and stability of the vehicle even during full braking. ABS supports optimum vehicle deceleration within the boundaries of physics whatever the quality of the road.

Advantages of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) compared with brake systems without a control system 

• Reduces the accident risk in dangerous situations due to optimum brake deceleration while maintaining steerability at the same time (obstacles can be driven round while braking fully) and this makes life considerably easier for the driver.
• Maintains full steerability even when "braking violently"
• Permits full pedal pressure for any road quality, with safety being considerably increased, particularly on a wet road and a road with hard-packed snow or ice.
