Traction Control System (TCS) *
TCS can prevent the driving wheel from
slipping during acceleration.
TCS is a part of ESP. Under extremely
unfavorable road conditions, start, acceleration
and driving uphill is possible or easier only with
the traction control system (TCS).
Operation methods of TCS:
TCS can automatically function, without
intervention from the driver. It monitors speed
of the driving wheel through the sensor of ABS.
In case of wheel slipping, the engine torque will
be automatically reduced to enable the driving
force comply with road conditions, which can
be achieved within all speed ranges.
TCS works jointly with ABS. In case of fault to
ABS, TCS is also disabled.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)*
The brake assist system is for purpose of brake
force optimization. The brake assist system
helps to improve the brake force and shorten the
brake distance. When the driver depresses the
brake pedal very quickly, the brake assist
system will automatically adjust the brake force
to the maximum value until ABS provides
control intervention. Keep depressing the brake
pedal until the required braking is achieved.
Once the brake pedal is released, the brake
assist system will be automatically shut down.
In case ABS fails, the brake assist system is also
out of service.
Hill-start Hold Control (HHC)*
In case of grade more than 4°, either to continue
driving after parking during driving uphill or to
reverse after parking during driving downhill,
the hill-start hold control is automatically
activated at any time, and within about 0.5~2S
after the brake is released, HHC can still
provide powerful brake force to ensure brake of
the vehicle so as to prevent the vehicle from
sliding and to enable easy driving, and with
elimination of slope sliding trouble, comfort and
control safety will be greatly improved.
