ʻO ka pauma ABS, unuhi ʻia ʻo "anti-lock brake system" ma ka ʻōlelo Kina, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea nui ʻekolu i ka mōʻaukala o ka palekana kaʻa, me nā ʻeke air a me nā kāʻei noho. He ʻōnaehana palekana kaʻa me nā pono o ka anti-skid a me ka anti-lock
ʻO ka ABS kahi ʻenehana i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia e pili ana i ka ʻōnaehana brake maʻamau, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i nā ʻano mechanical a me ka uila. Hoʻolako ʻia nā kaʻa o kēia wā me ka nui o nā ʻōnaehana anti-lock braking, ʻaʻole wale ʻo ABS ka hana braking o ka ʻōnaehana braking maʻamau, akā hiki ke pale aku i ka laka huila, i hiki ke huli ke kaʻa ma lalo o ke kūlana braking, e hōʻoia ai. ʻO ke kūpaʻa o ke kuhikuhi braking o ke kaʻa, e pale ai i ka hiki ʻana mai o ka ʻaoʻao paheʻe a me ka deviation, ʻo ia ka mea hana braking kiʻekiʻe loa ma ke kaʻa me ka hopena braking maikaʻi loa.
