Kia Sportage-4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)

4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)

The foundation of your Kia's active safety system, the Antilock Braking System (ABS) uses electronic sensors at each wheel hub to detect when wheels begin skid. If skidding under braking is detected, ABS modulates brake force to reduce skidding which in turn allows for reduced braking distances in addition to helping you maintain control of your vehicle.
