How should you brake in an emergency with ABS?
Correct answer: Press hard and hold the pedal down without pumping, and steer
Why
With functioning ABS, press the brake firmly and continuously during an emergency stop and do not pump it. Look and steer toward the safe path. ABS helps preserve steering control but does not guarantee a shorter stop on every surface; know your vehicle's instructions.
