System Functions: Notes

DSC calculates the current driving status using sensor signals. DSC corrects identified instances of driving instability through active brake interventions. For example, in the event of vehicle oversteering, a stabilizing torque is effected by means of brake intervention at the outer cornering front wheel which counteracts the unstable torque. In the event of vehicle understeering, active interventions at the inner cornering wheels provide a stabilizing counter-torque.

Drive stabilization by DSC is performed in all driving situations, i.e. free rolling, accelerating and (ABS) braking.

The system comprises the following functions:

• ABS Anti-lock Braking System
• ASC Automatic Stability Control
• MSR Engine drag-torque control
• DSC Dynamic Stability Control
• DBC Dynamic Brake Control
• CBC Cornering Brake Control
• ECD Electronically Controlled Deceleration (with ACC only)
• EBV Electronic brake-force distribution
• FLR Driving-performance reduction
• DTC Dynamic Traction Control
• BTM Brake Temperature Model
• RPA Tyre defect indicator
• BBV Brake-pad wear indication
