Anti-Lock Brakes Â
Anti-lock brakes keep your vehicle’s wheels from locking up during “panic” braking. This allows the driver to maintain more steering control and reduces the likelihood of a collision. Anti-lock brakes with brake assist are standard on newer vehicles. This intuitive system can detect emergency braking by detecting the speed or force with which the driver presses the brake pedal. As a result, it may be possible to reduce overall stopping distance and avoid a collision.
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control is used to assist the driver in maintaining control of their vehicle during extreme steering maneuvers. This system detects when your vehicle begins to oversteer or understeer and automatically applies the brake to a single wheel. The advantage of electronic stability control is that it reduces the occurrence of crashes that cause rollovers, such as veering off the road and colliding with the curb, soft shoulders, guard rails, and other objects.
Airbags
Airbags are another safety feature that can save a person’s life in a collision. These bags inflate to cushion occupants from the force of a crash, depending on the speed of effect and the stiffness of the object struck. Front airbags protect occupants from being hit by the dashboard, steering wheel, or windshield, while side airbags protect occupants from being hit by the door or objects that crash through it. You must also wear your seat belts for airbags to be effective.
