Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)_____
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The XJ´s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) provide optimum braking power and control. ABS helps maintain steering control under hard braking or adverse weather conditions, enabling drivers to maneuver around certain obstacles. Without ABS, hard braking can cause the wheels to lock up and the vehicle to skid out of control. Emergency Brake Assist measures the force applied to the brake pedal, automatically determining if emergency braking has occurred, and increasing braking power to ensure that the ABS system has been activated.2
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)_____
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
The Electronic Parking Brake engages automatically when ´Park´ is selected, disengaging automatically when the vehicle is in gear and the accelerator is pressed. This provides added convenience and safety when parking or pulling away, along with eliminating the possibility of accidentally driving with the parking brake on.
