5.4.7 Shadow driver
Dynamic control of curve driving
Shadow driver is a kind of adaptive vehicle
dynamic control (AVDC for short) technology. It
mainly applies slight longitudinal acceleration/
deceleration intervention to the vehicle
during steering, so as to reduce the lateral
acceleration and rolling of the vehicle
and reduce the driver’s action load of the
accelerator and steering wheel, improving
cornering stability and driving comfort.
Shadow driver has five modes: Off, Steady,
Aggressive, Ice and Snow, and Adaptive. Go to
“Driving Mode - Current Driving Mode” on the
AV system display to select the corresponding
“Shadow driver” mode.
-
“Off” mode: the shadow driver function is
turned off.
-
“Steady” mode: the shadow driver control
is moderate and appropriate for regular
driving.
-
“ A g g r e s s i v e ” m o d e : t h e s h a d o w
driver control is less intense to reduce
interference with driver’s actions.
-
“Ice and Snow” mode: the shadow driver
control is strongest. This mode should be
used on icy and snowy roads. If it is used
on regular roads, the driver’s action may
be interfered too much.
-
“Adaptive” mode: the intensity of the
shadow driver is automatically adjusted
based on the driver’s actions. In this
mode, the vehicle automatically adjusts
the throttle sensitivity according to the
vehicle state and the driver’s action.
