Definition of anti-lock in English English dictionary
Preventing from becoming stuck or jammed (i.e. locked). Especially applies to anti-lock brakes which are designed to continue rotating for better steering control while slowing the vehicle, rather than "locking" and causing the car to skid
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) (translated from German, Antiblockiersystem) is a system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking. An anti-locking braking system allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking by preventing a skid and allowing the wheel to continue to forward roll and create lateral control, as directed by driver steering inputs
(Otomotiv) Advanced technology designed to prevent brakes from locking up regardless of brake pedal pressure. Anti-lock braking systems have become increasingly popular because they enhance traction in slippery conditions and allow you to keep steering control of a vehicle, even in a skid
