FORD 2013 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 208)

If the ABS is disabled, normal braking is still effective. If the
brake warning lamp illuminates with the parking brake released,
have your brake system serviced immediately.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:
•
you drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you.
•
your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•
you take corners too fast.
•
the road surface is poor.
