ABS and EDS

In the drawing the main design of system of anti-blocking in Audi A4 is shown.

ABS cannot create a braking miracle as it is often supposed; the brake way becomes significantly shorter not under all conditions.

More ABS helps to keep controllability the car at strong braking. But for this purpose much stronger turn of a wheel, than usually is required. It is only one of the moments, the others those that at the ordinary brake system:

  • Therefore be trained on the remote parking lot to full braking with turn of a wheel.
  • At the same time completely wring out a brake pedal. The dosage of brake effort for you is undertaken by ABS.
  • It belongs to braking at the movement both on a straight line, and at turn of a wheel.
  • Be not surprised to a brake pedal pulsation. When ABS regulates braking, this vibration of a pedal is the normal phenomenon.
  • In extreme cases even in the presence of ABS you have to release a brake pedal to save the ticklish situation turn.
