Vehicle: 1998 MERCEDES-BENZ C230 2.3 L4 GAS

System

Four-wheel ABS uses a control unit, hydraulic actuator and wheel speed sensors to control brake fluid pressure and prevent wheel lock during severe braking conditions,

Basic ABS components are supplemented by an expanded hydraulic unit, a charging pump, a fourth wheel speed sensor and a more comprehensive electronic system for Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) and Electronic Traction System(ETS).

Integrated with ABS and traction control systems, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) detects slides and applies brake pressure to individual wheels to help maintain control.
