ABS is an acronym for Anti-lock Braking System. An ABS has sensors on either two or four wheels. When you apply the brakes, the sensors detect a wheel lock and will quickly release braking pressure, then return braking pressure to normal. This keeps the car from skidding, which keeps you in control of the car. There are a few different ABS used by auto manufacturers. The least expensive to use is the rear wheel ABS, which keeps only the rear wheels from locking. This is used on larger trucks, where locking the rear is very unsafe. Some cars have a three channel ABS. Think of each channel as an ABS. Each of the two front wheels has their own channel and both of the rear wheels are on one channel (three channels). The Infiniti Coupe has a four channel system. Each wheel has its own ABS, so four wheels = four channels. This is the best ABS available, since each wheel can have the ABS work independent of what the other wheels are doing.
