Explanation
Correct answer: It helps to change the course of driving while braking.
The ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) prevents the wheels from locking during sharp braking. This keeps the vehicle steerable, making it possible to manoeuvre around an obstacle even under maximum braking force. The illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard, shown in the illustration, indicates a malfunction in this system.
