1.ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) focuses on preventing brakes from locking during heavy braking. What is ATC, an optional addition to ABS, and what does ATC focus on?

ATC stands for 'All Terrain Control.' The system focuses on vehicle operators maximizing control on alternative terrains, such as sand or loose dirt.

ATC stands for 'Alert Timing Centre.' The system focuses on alerting the vehicle driver in a timely manner of potential brake failure due to harsh weather conditions such as ice, snow or heavy rain.

ATC stands for 'Automatic Traction Control.' The system focuses on sensing when wheels have lost traction and taking corrective measures when that happens.

ATC stands for 'Advanced Temperature Control.' The system focuses on preventing brakes from overheating by controlling brake temperature during heavy braking.
