Explain ABS-Anti lock Breaking System
When a wheel loses traction, a vehicle is hard to control - and that’s why ABS was invented. ABS uses magnetic wheel-speed sensors and a computer to monitor all four wheels while a vehicle is in motion. When the brakes are applied, and a wheel (or wheels) begins to decelerate faster than the others, the system can recognize that it’s losing traction or locked up. In response, the system rapidly pulses the brake at that wheel until it begins to roll at the same speed as the others. At the same time, it maintains brake pressure on the wheels with better grip to help prevent skidding.
Define VSC- Vehicle Stability Control
VSC helps prevent wheelslip and loss of traction by reducing engine power and applying brake force to wheels that need it. The system reads data from a steering wheel sensor and the ABS wheel-speed sensors to determine if the vehicle is following the driver’s steering inputs. If the vehicle is deviating from the direction in which the driver is steering, VSC is designed to reduce engine power and pulse the left- or right-side brakes to help correct the situation.
Define TRAC-Traction Control
By reading data from the ABS wheel-speed sensors, TRAC can tell if a drive wheel is turning faster than the wheel on the opposite side, which can indicate a loss of traction. When TRAC detects slippage, the system can automatically reduce engine power until the wheel that is slipping slows and regains traction. If reducing engine power isn’t enough, the braking system will slow that wheel by pulsing the brake of that wheel.
Define BA-Brake Assist
Brake Assist (BA) is designed to detect sudden, or “panic,” braking, and assist the driver in stopping the vehicle, adding additional brake pressure if Brake Assist senses that the driver is braking too lightly.
Define SST-Smart Stop Technology
SST is designed to automatically reduce engine power when both the brake and accelerator pedals are pressed at the same time under certain conditions.
Define EBS-Electronic Breakforce Distribution
EBS is a feature of the Anti-lock Brake System, which helps make up for shifting weight under hard braking. It reduces brake pressure on wheels carrying the least amount of weight, helping your vehicle stay in control.
Define Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD
Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD allows the driver to steer the vehicle exactly as intended over terrain that may cause slippage sending power to the wheel with the most traction.
