Brake system (06.00)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) (06.09)
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a four-channel system
having independent inputs from all four-wheel speed
sensors.
The ABS module, monitors signals from the sensors to
calculate, brake slip and the acceleration / deceleration of
individual wheels. When the brake pedal is depressed, and
the ABS module detects incipient wheel lock-up from the
incoming signals, it triggers the re-circulation pump inside
the module’s hydraulic modulator, and the solenoid valves
for the wheel(s) concerned. Brake pressure, is then
modulated to increase / decrease or remain constant at the
wheel(s) concerned until whee l lock-up is eliminated. The
ABS provides self-diagnosis and any malfunction within the
system will be indicated to the dr iver by the illumination of
the brake warning light and ‘ABS FAULT’ displayed in the
message centre right. Should a fault develop within the ABS,
the brake system will operate conventionally and with the
same standard of performanc e as a vehicle not equipped
with ABS.
Dynamic Stability Control
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC ) is a closed-loop system
designed to enhance driving safety by improving vehicle
handling when the tyres are at the limits of their grip
capabilities. This is achieved through instantaneous,
electronically controlled, reduction of engine torque and
strategic application of the brakes at individual wheels.
By using the principle that by controlling the brakes
individually it is possible, to an extent, to steer the vehicle.
This principle can be used to enhance driving safety by
correcting the vehicle’s yaw moment (turning force), when
the vehicle fails to follow th e driver’s steering inputs.
Concept
Satisfactory handling is determined according to whether a
vehicle maintains a path, wh ich accurately reflects the
driver
