If you lose ABS control at one or more wheels, what should you do?

When you lose ABS (anti-lock braking system) control at one or more wheels, the appropriate response is to drive normally and plan to have the system serviced soon. This means that while you should be aware of the potential impacts on braking performance due to the loss of ABS functionality, it is still possible to operate the vehicle safely by maintaining a safe following distance and being cautious with your braking.

Driving normally implies that you can still use the vehicle, as the conventional braking system will still function even if the ABS is compromised. However, it is crucial to recognize that without ABS, you may experience a higher risk of wheel lock-up during hard braking, especially in slippery conditions. Therefore, monitoring your driving habits becomes even more important until the issue is resolved.

Having the system serviced soon is recommended because ABS provides essential safety features that help prevent wheel lock-up and maintain steering control during emergency stops. Addressing the malfunction promptly ensures that you will have the optimal braking capabilities restored.

The other options suggest either inappropriate actions that could exacerbate the problem, such as driving faster or resuming normal driving without caution, or prematurely involving dispatch, which delays addressing the urgent safety concern. Thus, focusing on careful driving and planning for timely service is the most sensible approach in this
