How is the failure of the anti-block system (ABS) indicated?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. By a control light on the dashboard.
Explanation
The question is about the way in which a vehicle informs you that the ABS system is faulty. It is shown by a warning light on the dashboard - the answer is A.
The Road Traffic Act requires a vehicle to be maintained in such a way that using it does not endanger safety and that the driver can use the brakes reliably. After you switch on the ignition, the ABS warning light comes on and goes out after a short test - in many lorries only after moving off. If it stays on or comes on while driving, the system is reporting a fault. A sound signal (answer B) and hazard warning lights (answer C) are not the way of informing you about an ABS failure. The brakes still work then, but as in a vehicle without ABS - during hard braking the wheels may lock, and the vehicle combination may jackknife. You drive more carefully and go to a service centre as soon as possible.
