A.B.S. Function

When the brakes are applied while cornering with a 4 Wheel
Drive or other type of vehicle, understeer may occur. The
generation of understeer can be eliminated and corners can
be smoothly cleared by using this function.

Operation
- When the brakes are applied, the throttle servo will pulse
intermittently. This will have the same effect as pumping
the brakes in a full size car.
- The brake return amount, pumping cycle, and delay
amount can be adjusted.

Without A.B.S.
With A.B.S.

Operation Display
When the A.B.S. function is activated, the LED flashes.

Fail Safe Unit
When the 3PM is used with the Futaba fail safe unit (FSU-1), it will operate as de-
scribed below.
- When the FSU-1 is connected to the throttle channel, and the A.B.S. function has
been activated, the FSU-1 LED will flash each time the servo operates. The reason
for this is that the FSU-1 responds to sudden data changes caused by A.B.S. function
pumping operation. It does not mean that the fail safe function is activated. The servo
will not be affected.
