Re: Driver ignorant of how ABS works; Turns Chevy Captiva upside down @VeluM, I believe the situation Samurai refers to (hard braking with no A-pedal input) is different from the one mentioned by Rehaan (car moving without A-pedal input - no brake pressed here). The latter is an anti-stall feature which is there in most cars now - have experience in Punto-D (40kmph endlessly without A-input) and Vento-D (50kmph endlessly without A-input). Infact, this can be done even in older and petrol cars too - in my Baleno if A-input is avoided when car is in 5th gear, it will continue to putter at 20-22kmph with rpm at 400 or so (idle is 700) - I tried this for the sake of experiment once. Not advisable though. |
