Understanding the Importance of ABS and Airbag Systems
Before we delve into the specifics of the OTC 3209, it’s crucial to understand the vital role that ABS and airbag systems play in ensuring your safety on the road.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS prevents your wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing you to maintain steering control and avoid dangerous skids. A malfunctioning ABS can significantly increase your stopping distance and compromise your ability to maneuver safely in emergency situations.
Airbag System
Your car’s airbag system is designed to deploy in the event of a collision, providing a critical cushion between you and the vehicle’s interior. A faulty airbag system could fail to deploy when needed, increasing the risk of serious injury in an accident.
