Identifying if your vehicle is equipped with antilock brakes (ABS) can typically be done by checking for a yellow malfunction lamp on the dashboard. This lamp is designed to illuminate when the vehicle is turned on, indicating that the ABS system is functioning correctly. If there are any issues with the system, the light may stay on or flash, providing a visual cue that the driver should be aware of.

While other methods such as inspecting the tires for sensors or looking for a sticker on the driver's door might seem possible, they are not standard or reliable indicators of the presence of antilock brakes. Additionally, asking the dealership could provide information, but it does not offer a direct way for the driver to quickly identify the system themselves. Therefore, checking for the specific warning light on the dashboard is the most straightforward and effective approach to determine whether an antibrake lock system is equipped in the vehicle.
