PERFORMANCE
GROUP IV
Braking Performance
It shows the ability of the car to slow down and
stop at a desired braking distance.
‘Braking performance’ (sometimes known as
‘effectiveness’)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
(NHTSA) National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey
revealed that roughly 2% of all motor vehicle crashes are
caused by some sort of vehicular problem such as brake
failure or a blown tire. Brake failure accounts for roughly 1
22% of these car accidents.

Before you get too excited about improving your car’s
brakes, its critical to understand that brakes are only
as good as the tyres and suspension allow them to
be.
If you’re running hard tyres that skip over
every road imperfection, upgraded brakes will
provide literally no improvement. Improvements in
brake torque assume you’re not traction limited.
Improvements in brake fade assume you
actually get your brakes hot enough that they lose
performance. For the vast majority of cars on public
roads, stock brakes will be more than enough. 16

2. Valves
There is a valve in the brake line of each brake
controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has
three positions:
*In position one, the valve is open; pressure from
the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake.
*In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating
that brake from the master cylinder. This prevents the
pressure from rising further should the driver push the
brake pedal harder.
*In position three, the valve releases some of the
8
pressure from the brake.

If too much force is applied to the brake
pedal, conventional brakes may cause the wheels to
lock up. This lessens the driver's steering control and
makes the braking distance greater. Locked wheels
skid more easily. An antilock brake system (ABS) has
sensors on each of the wheels that monitor the
wheel's speed. In addition, the sensors regulate
hydraulic brake pressure through a hydraulic control
unit. The third element of ABS is a computerized
command system.

With ABS
The ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) is a braking
system that allows that when stops the wheels not
they block, and therefore they continue turning,
which allows that they obey to the turn that is
marked to him from the steering wheel.
The right way to stop a car equipped with ABS
brakes is to hit the brakes and did not release
pressure until the vehicle is stopped. During braking
and subject to activate the ABS, will be felt a vibration
in the pedal. This effect is normal , Is the way the car
to tell us that the ABS is working. 13
23
With ABS
It only acts when stepping on the brake with
force.
To obtain an effective braking system must step
on the brake pedal with the force from the outset,
while stepping on the clutch. In performing this
maneuver will cause the car responds to its
maneuverability and achieved its arrest in a shorter
space.

How do I know that the ABS on my car is
running?
Just start the car, turn on a light og ABS signal.
The light should turn off after a few seconds. If the
ABS does not shut down, it means that the ABS do
not work. Still you can stop the car, but do not have
the help of ABS. It would be advisable to bring a
workshop to review.
