it was an option, get your local ford dealer to put your reg/chassis number into microcat & the minor features should say if it has abs.

ABS became standard in 2001....a Zetec model will _probably_ but not definitely have it. Look for the sensors!!

My 2000 W reg Zetec didn't have ABS.
If it's one you are looking at go to a dealer with the reg no,
You can't see the rings on the fronts (part of the bearing) but you can see the sensors.

As sais above i think the easiest way is to turn on the ignition and see if theres a light come on for about 3-5 seconds, mine is an orange light on the Escort and it goes off in about 3seconds
