RT AWD ABS really works !!!

We were pounded here sa East Coast with heavy snow umabot ng 6-8 inches may mga nabalahaw na mga tsikot, buti na lang nakalusot ako.

Ma feel mo talaga na parang slushy ice yung dianadaanan, while accelerating sometimes the vehicle would spin the front wheels then the rear would dig in and give added traction, pag mag make naman ng turn nag siside ng konti yung front ( as if you were making a big turn), but no fish tailing.

ABS, you could feel pulsations sa pedal as if parang may mga dumadaang mga gamunggong bola sa brake lines.

It was really a mixed feeling of excitedness, nervousness and fun while driving in the snow.

Nakakatemp na maglaro sa empty parking space (All wheel fun).

Question lang should the ABS lamp turn on and off while the vehicle is using the ABS feature during braking.

yes, normal na umiilaw ang abs lamp kapag nag-eengage ang system. parang "fyi" kumbaga.

buti pala hindi ako natuloy sa DC this week, hehe.

hmmm, pwede kayang magtestdrive sa ice skating rink ng megamall?

donut sa ice skating rink! :D

hmmm...in my experience with a gen 2.5 protege with ABS, di naman iilaw yung ABS light niya except during startup, you just feel it with the brakes.

sa rav4 rin... hindi umiilaw ng ABS indicator... pero malalaman mong gumagana (usually dito kapag heavy and sudden braking on rough spots).

Uy Red, nasaan ka nga uli? Di ka na nagparamdam nung dumating ka....

Sa Odyssey den, hindi umiilaw ang ABS. Pag umilaw yun, may dipirensya at kailangang dalin sa casa. Yung TCS (Traction Control System) light ang umiilaw pag gumagana.

Para ka lang nagma-mudding sa snow, hehehe..... ingat lang!

MD, po.

Hindi rin nga umiilaw sa akin, meron lang kasi akong nabasang yung iba e nag bliblink kaya natanong ko.

Sarap nga mag laro at itest yung ABS at AWD features e.

sorry sir Rediesel, i was wrong. yung traction control pala yung normally nagbi-blink as a signal to the driver that it is engaging, not the ABS light - like the guys above said. i got confused as to which lights were which.

the manual on my bimmer says that the ABS light should stay off, and when it comes on (stays on, doesn't blink) then i will need to have the system checked.
