Explanation

Active safety systems help the driver reduce the chance of an accident happening. They include, for example, the lights, the tyres, the brakes, the suspension and the steering. The function of the brakes is to reduce the speed of the vehicle gradually or, when it is already still, to keep it stopped. They are clearly an active safety element.
