OPERATION
- 133 -
CAUTION
ESP is an auxiliary brake system. Always
remember that no system can change
the physical laws. Driving safety is
responsibility of the driver despite all
auxiliary systems.
EBS (Electronic Brake System)
EBS (Electronic Brake System) is an
integrated braking system that includes
sub-systems.
1-Braking power control:
EBS control unit adjusts the braking power
on the wheels automatically based on the
information from the load sensor and the
brake pedal travel applied by the driver.
2-Automatic braking power distribution
between axles: EBS adjusts the braking
power that will be applied to the axles
based on the axle load.
3- ABS:
ABS maintains steering control by
preventing the locking of wheels during
brakes.
4-Automatic Traction Control:
Main purpose of this function is to prevent
skidding of driven axle wheels.
a) Braking power control: The speeds of
the wheels of the driven axle are equalized
by decelerating the skidding wheel by
braking.
b) engine torque is automatically limited
to ensure that the vehicle moves stably.
5-Inertia torque control:
Wheels may skid due to the engine inertia
in slippery surfaces. Especially, when
the transmission is downshi ed and/or
intarder is activated, wheels may have an
inclination to skid.
Inertia torque control system sends a
signal to engine control unit and adjusts
the engine torque to overcome the inertia
of the engine.
CAUTION
Intarder may cause the vehicle to skid in
slippery road conditions.
6- Emergency brake assist system:
System senses the braking operation and
increases braking power according to the
pedal travel.
CAUTION
Emergency brake assist cannot increase
the maximum capacity of braking power.
Vehicle shall be braked in the limits of
maximum braking power.
7-Tilt prevention system: System senses
the risk of tilting automatically when the
brake is applied and decreases the braking
power of front wheels and increases the
braking power of rear axle. Thus, vehicle is
prevented from tilting.
