ABS can't do everything! (Opel Vectra B)

ABS cannot create the braking miracle that is often assumed; the braking distance will not become significantly shorter under any circumstances.

To a greater extent, ABS helps maintain control of the car under heavy braking. But this requires turning the steering wheel much further than usual. This is just one of the points that differs from the regular braking system:

Therefore, practice full braking with steering wheel turn in a remote parking area.

At the same time, fully depress the brake pedal. ABS takes over the dosage of braking force for you.

This applies to both braking while driving in a straight line and when the steering wheel is turned.

Don't be surprised if the brake pedal pulsates. When the ABS regulates braking, this pedal pulsation is normal.

In extreme cases, even with ABS, you must release the brake pedal to save the sticky situation by turning.
