The collaborative is starting to generate results. Where Con Edison previously relied on outdated flood maps, the utility has agreed to build its fortifications to the latest flood levels and standards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
ABS is part of your braking system and it stands for Anti Lock Brakes. There are two ways to tell whether you have ABS brakes. There will be a light on your dash when you start your car up and then it goes out and if you brake really hard you will feel a pulsation from the brake pedal. If the light is permanently on the dash that means there is a problem with one of the sensors and should be looked at. Your brakes still work but your ABS is not. ABS allows you to brake and steer at the same time, provided you look where you want to go! It allows you to do this by pulsating the brakes.
The Auto Hold function offers you more convenience and extra safety. Operated via the ABS/ESP hydraulic unit, it stops your car from rolling away accidentally when standing still or setting off. When the car is braked to a standstill, Auto Hold retains the last-applied braking pressure.You can take your foot off the brake and all four wheel brakes will stay on. If the ABS wheel speed sensors detect any rolling, the braking force is automatically increased until the car comes to a standstill again.As soon as you press the accelerator again and-in the case of manual gearboxes-release the clutch, Auto Hold reduces the braking pressure.f the ABS wheel speed sensors detect any rolling, the braking force is automatically increased until the car comes to a standstill again.
