HONDA 2003 CR-V - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 216)

The hydraulic system that operates
the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across
the vehicle (the left-front brake is
connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit should develop a
problem, you will still have braking
at two wheels.
When the front tires skid, you lose
steering control; the vehicle
continues straight ahead even
though you turn the steering wheel.
The ABS helps to prevent lock-up
and helps you retain steering control
by pumping the brakes rapidly; much
faster than a person can do it.
ABS helps to prevent the wheels
from locking up and skidding during
hard braking, allowing you to retain
steering control.
The ABS also balances the front-to
rear braking distribution according
to vehicle loading.
