What is the correct procedure for using ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to stop quickly?

The correct procedure for using the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to stop quickly is to press the brake pedal as hard as you can and maintain that pressure. ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, which helps maintain steering control and stability. When you apply firm, consistent pressure, the system modulates brake force to optimize stopping distance while allowing you to steer if necessary.

This method is particularly effective in emergency situations where quick stopping is essential. The ABS will engage automatically, and you may feel a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal as the system works to maintain traction. It’s important to not pump the brakes, as doing so can interfere with the system's operation, potentially increasing stopping distances or decreasing control. This is why the other strategies that involve pumping the brakes or using the parking brake are not ideal when ABS is equipped.
