Correct answer

  • APermite mantener bien el control sobre la dirección el vehículo.It helps you keep good control of the vehicle's steering.
Explanation

ABS stops the wheels from locking when you brake hard, so the vehicle still responds to the steering wheel and you can steer round an obstacle while braking. It does not detect on its own that the front wheels are losing grip, and it does not act unless you press the brake.
