Which of the following action should be taken when the operating ABS pushes out the brake pedal while braking?

Description

Principles of braking system operation and braking methods with an ABS system.

Explanation

Correct answer: Sustain the pressure on the brake pedal.

The characteristic pulsating or "pushing back" of the brake pedal is a normal sign of the ABS system operating. In such a situation, you should continue braking without reducing the pressure on the pedal. Reducing the pressure or taking your foot off the pedal would interrupt the system's operation and significantly lengthen the stopping distance.
