release the parking brake.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
topreventwheellock-upduringsuddenbraking
oronhazardousroadsurfaces.TheABScontrol
module monitors the wheel speed and controls
the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergencysituationsoronslickroads, ABSwill
increase vehicle control during braking.
During these conditions the vehicle should
be driven at reduced speeds.
