Page 14 - Principle of Operation
14 X5 Dynamic Stability Control Principle of Operation The scope of control for the DSC III is comprised of three systems: • ABS • ASC+T • DSC Based on signals coming from the various sensors the DSC III will determine which systemis best suited to maintain control of the vehicle. In addition to the...
Page 15 - ABS regulation has three phases:
15 X5 Dynamic Stability Control ABS regulation has three phases: • Pressure Build • Pressure Hold • Pressure Release Pressure Build already occurs during normal braking, so when ABS first intervenes it willstart holding pressure by energizing the Inlet Valve. For example, if the right rear wheel isl...
Page 17 - Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBV); Benefits of EBV are
17 X5 Dynamic Stability Control Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBV) EBV will adjust brake pressure to the rear axle based on the rate of slow-down of the rearwheels, ensuring even brake force between the front and rear of the vehicle. The control unit monitors the wheel speed when the brakes a...
Page 18 - Engine Intervention; ASC Engine Intervention
18 X5 Dynamic Stability Control Automatic Stability Control (ASC+T) ASC prevents unintentional wheel slip of the drive wheels in every situation. The DSC III control unit determines if the vehicle is loosing traction due to excessive longi-tudinal wheel slip based on input from the wheel speed senso...
