System Description

DESCRIPTION

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
a. ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System)
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied firmly or when braking on a slippery surface.

b. EBD
(Electronic Brake force Distribution)
The EBD control utilizes ABS, realizing the proper brake force distribution between front and rear wheels in accordance with the driving conditions.
In addition, during cornering braking, it also controls the brake forces of right and left wheels, helping to maintain the vehicle behavior.

c. Brake Assist
The primary purpose of the Brake Assist system is to provide an auxiliary brake force to assist the driver who cannot generate a large brake force during emergency braking, thus helping draw the vehicle's brake performance.

d. TRAC
(Traction Control)
The TRAC system helps prevent the drive wheels from slipping if the driver presses the accelerator pedal excessively when starting off or accelerating on a slippery surface.

e. VSC
(Vehicle Stability Control)
The VSC system helps prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of strong front wheel skid or strong rear wheel skid during cornering.

2. ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC OPERATION

a. Skid control ECU calculates vehicle stability tendency based on the signal of sensors, speed sensor, yaw rate sensor and steering angle sensor. And it judges whether the control of engine output torque by electronic control throttle and of wheel brake pressure by brake actuator will start or not by the calculation results.

b. The SLIP indicator blinks and the VSC buzzer sounds to inform the driver that the VSC system is operating. The SLIP indicator also blinks when TRAC is operating, and the operation being performed is displayed.
