Onset of EDL regulation is permitted up to a
speed of 40 km/h. The upper switch-off barrier
for already active EDL is 40 km/h for vehicles
with Front Wheel Drive (FWD), but 80 km/h for
vehicles with All Wheel Drive (AWD).
The hydraulic unit is equipped with suction
dampers. They improve pressure build-up in the
appropriate brake cylinders during EDL
regulation. The functional range of the pressure
relief valve in the hydraulic unit is 170 25 bar. To reduce the risk of brake overheating, EDL
regulation is not permitted above a specific brake
temperature. The temperature limit is defined in
the ABS control module (w/EDL) -J104-. The
control module determines the actual brake
temperature via an algorithm. If the algorithm
determines that the brakes have reached a
temperature below the temperature limit, the EDL
system becomes effective again. Function of the
vehicle brake system and ABS are not affected
by intervention in this system.
