Correct answer

  • AÚnicamente si el vehículo dispone de sistema ABS.Only if the vehicle has ABS.
Explanation

With ABS you can press the brake fully and keep the pressure, because the system stops the wheels from locking and lets you keep steering. Without ABS, braking like this locks the wheels and you lose steering control, so it is better to control the braking pressure.
