Your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS). The car ahead of you stops suddenly, and you must stop quickly. How should you brake?
A neutral reference detail shows the brake and accelerator pedals with no foot or highlighted control. The card states that the car ahead stops suddenly and your car has ABS.
Correct answer: Press the brake pedal firmly and hold it down while you steer.
Why
ABS is a computer-controlled system that stops the wheels from locking during hard braking, so you can still steer. Read your owner's manual to learn which type of brakes your car has. On slippery roads, brake early and gently so that you do not need an emergency stop.
