Iimoto zanamhlanje zixhotyiswe ngenani elikhulu le-anti-lock braking system, i-ABS ayinayo kuphela umsebenzi wokuqhafaza wenkqubo yesiqhelo yokuqhoqhobala, kodwa inokuthintela ukutshixa ivili, ukuze imoto ikwazi ukujika phantsi kwe-braking state, ukuqinisekisa. Ukuzinza kwendlela yokunyathela imoto, ukunqanda ukwenzeka kwecala lokutyibilika kunye nokutenxa, sesona sixhobo siphambili sokuqhobosha kwinqwelo-mafutha esinesona siphumo siqhoqhoqho.
