Automatic Stability Control (ASC+T)
Based on input from the wheel speed sensors, the MK60 control unit determines if the vehicle is loosing traction due to excessive longitudinal (straight line) wheel slip. An ASC regulating sequence is initiated if the wheel slip exceeds the control units stored allowable values.
A critical slip ratio of up to 5% between the wheels will cause the traction control regulation to begin. This slip ratio is established when the system detects a wheel spin difference of 2 MPH or greater.
ASC regulation is cancelled at any time if the brake pedal is applied.
The MK60 can control longitudinal wheel slip by two means:
- Engine Intervention
- Brake Intervention (ADB, drive wheels only)
