EBV
Electronic brake force distribution (EBV) prevents excessive braking of the rear wheels with a small load on the rear axle or with poor grip of the wheels with the road (e.g. on a wet road).
ABS
The anti-lock braking system regulates the pressure in the brake system in such a way that the wheels do not block when braking. As a result, vehicle control is maintained.
When the system is off ABS wheels may be blocked. The vehicle may skid when braking. For off-road driving, you can disable the system ABS. Never turn off the system ABS when driving on normal roads.
System ABS operates regardless of road conditions, starting at a speed of approx 3 km/h.
If full braking is required, depress the brake pedal with full force.
This guarantees the action ABS on all wheels.
On a slippery road ABS regulates already at light braking, this causes a pulsation of the brake pedal, which indicates insufficient traction of the wheels with the road and the need to adapt the driving style to the road conditions.
If further braking is required, continue depressing the brake pedal with the same force. Only in this case you will take advantage of all the advantages of the system ABS.
Attention: if you are driving with a trailer that is not equipped with ABS, then when braking with full force, its excessive braking and loss of traction of the wheels with the road are possible. There is a danger of losing control of the vehicle. When braking with full force, observe the reaction of the trailer through the outside rear-view mirrors.
The position of the vehicle on the driving path remains stable if the trailer wheels are not blocked. The anti-lock braking system does not relieve you of the need to adjust your driving style to road and weather conditions.
System ABS improves vehicle handling and retention of a given trajectory when braking. However, the system ABS unable to prevent consequences such as not maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front or speeding when cornering, etc.
BAS system
Brake Assist helps shorten the stopping distance in emergency braking situations.
You can take full advantage of the system ABSduring the operation of the emergency braking system BAS.
When the brake pedal is pressed quickly, the brake pressure is increased to the maximum. If further braking is required, continue depressing the brake pedal with the same force. If you release the brake pedal, the emergency braking system BAS turns off.
ASR/ESP
Traction control ASRcontrols the ability to transmit tractive force, i.e. transmission of torque between the tires and the road.
If the warning light #img# flashes on the instrument cluster, this means that the traction control system has turned on ASRand there is a danger of an accident, as the vehicle could skid. In this case, proceed as follows:
- if the indicator light starts flashing when starting off, then operate the accelerator pedal more carefully (your acceleration should be less intense);
- if the indicator light starts flashing while driving, it means that the road is too slippery for your driving mode, so gently release the accelerator pedal.
Adjust your driving style to the road conditions.
If you do not heed this warning, the vehicle may skid.
By selectively braking individual wheels and limiting engine power, the system ASR/ESP stabilizes the car. System ASR/ESP provides you with support especially when starting off on wet or slippery roads.
Attention: if the warning lamp - is constantly on in the instrument cluster ASR/ESP, then the system ESPdisabled.
Stop the engine and turn the ignition key to position 0 when:
- towing a car with a raised front / rear axle;
- checking the parking brake on a brake test stand.
Otherwise, the active braking effect exerted by the system ESP or ASR, may cause the wheels to lock up and damage the braking system.
Proper System Functioning ESPonly guaranteed if you use wheels with recommended tire sizes.
Turn off ASR
You can disable torque control ASRin the speed range from 0 before 60 km/h.
Fig.261. ASR switch
To turn off the system, press the button (1).
At the same time, the warning lamp lights up on the instrument cluster - "Engine torque control disabled".
system ASRshould be turned off in the following situations:
- when using anti-skid targets;
- when driving in deep snow;
- when driving on sand and gravel.
Active braking effect exerted by the system ESPto stabilize the vehicle's direction of travel, may damage the braking system.
Enabling ASR
To turn on the system, press the button (1) with the system turned off.
The warning light goes out in the instrument cluster. Engine torque control is enabled and the system ASRis back in normal operating condition.
Traction control automatically engages if you drive faster 60 km/h or the vehicle enters an unstable situation.
