Winter
driving can be a daunting task at times in Canada, especially in snowy or icy
conditions. Most of us know that what it like driving on icy roads of Canada
and for your vehicle to cope up when the temperature is about -1 ° C or -2 ° C.

follow them can affect insurance claims if you are in a collision. Choose the right parts for your car for smooth driving in snow and to keep your vehicle in a good condition on Parts avatar.
If road
conditions are dangerous, it becomes imperative to make alternate travel
arrangements or postponing your trip waiting for conditions to improve. There's
nothing more frightening than having your car skid on snow while you're still
struggling to control your car.
You should use your brakes effectively in order to drive safely in the winter weather and pass through slick roads.
Winters in Canada are
extremely harsh. Although the only way to drive safely on snow and ice-covered
roads is to drive smoothly, but it's difficult to control no sudden movements
such as forcefully spinning the steering wheel or some other behavior. This can
cause you to lose traction and complete control over your car.
When it comes to safety,
ABS systems can help. ABS - ‘anti-lock braking
system’ is a safety anti-skid braking system used on ground vehicles
like trucks, cars, buses and on air-crafts as well. ABS operates by preventing
the wheels from locking up during braking so that contact with the road surface
is maintained.
ABS brakes are an
innovative braking system that automatically combines them with your standard
brakes. Press firmly on the brake pedal to enable the ABS brakes – don't let
up.
You'll hear a pulsating
sound and perhaps a groaning sound – that's natural. Browse through good quality ABS car parts
on Parts Avatar. You can buy different types of vehicle specific ABS
connectors. You can choose the type of vehicle you drive and
accordingly choose the suitable connector online.
In case you already have
an anti-lock braking system (ABS) in your car, do not ever "pump" the
brakes. Apply constant pressure and allow the system to do its job.
ABS has four major
components; Speed sensor, Valves, Electronic Control Unit and hydraulic control
unit. For an effective ABS system four-channel, four center combination works
best as it allows each wheel to achieve maximum braking force. Check out Driveline ABS sensors,

Tips On Using The ABS System Correctly
It is important for you
to take note that ABS doesn't come every time you brake for a stop (if it does,
of course, your driving habits need some improvement and training!), and if it
activates, it can be scary in case you've never experienced it before.
Whenever the brake pedal
pulsates, a loud grinding or groaning sound is heard. It's important to keep
your foot firmly on the pedal until your vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Releasing the brake will deactivate the ABS and you won't get the advantage.
