93 ESC system intervenes to counter the car’s understeer or oversteer. Oversteer : occurs when the car is turning more than it should according to the angle of the steering wheel. Understeer : occurs when the car is turning less than it should according to the angle of the steering wheel. System intervention The intervention of the system is indicated by the flashing of the ESC warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car stability and grip are critical. 39) 40) 41) 42) 45) Deactivating the system The ESC system deactivates automatically when using RACE driving mode (where provided). TC (Traction Control) SYSTEM The system automatically operates in the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on one or both drive wheels. Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated: if the slipping involves both drive wheels , the system intervenes, reducing the power transmitted by the engine; if the slipping only involves one of the drive wheels , the BLD (Brake Limited Differential) function is activated, automatically braking the wheel which is slipping (the behaviour of a self-locking differential is simulated). This will increase the drive torque transferred to the wheel that is not slipping. System intervention The intervention of the system is indicated by the flashing of the ESC warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car stability and grip are critical. 39) 40) 41) 42) PBA (Panic Brake Assist) SYSTEM The PBA system is designed to improve the car’s braking capacity during emergency braking. by monitoring the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pressed, and consequently applies the optimal brake pressure. This can reduce the braking distance: the PBA system therefore complements the ABS. system is obtained by pressing the brake pedal very quickly. In addition, the brake pedal should be pressed continuously during braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to get the most out of the system. Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal until braking is no longer necessary. brake pedal is released. 39) 40) 41) HSA (Hill Start Assist) SYSTEM This is an integral part of the ESC system and facilitates starting on slopes, activating automatically in the following cases: uphill : car stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and transmission in neutral or gear other than reverse engaged; downhill : car stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and reverse gear engaged. control unit maintains the braking pressure on the wheels until the drive torque necessary for starting is reached, or in any case for a maximum of 2 seconds, allowing your right foot to be moved easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator. without starting, the system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure. mechanical brake release noise can be |
