Traction Control System (TCS)
TCS is a subsystem of ESP. TCS determines if
the driving wheel slips based on the speed of the
driving wheel and the driven wheel. If the former
exceeds the latter, TCS will limit the speed of the
driving wheel to prevent the car from slipping.
Turn on or off TCS in the following ways: for cars
with AV main:
–
When ESP is turned on, TCS is also turned
on.
–
Turn off TCS by “Car Settings → Drive Assist
→ ESPOFF On” of the main unit.
Cars with AVNT main unit:
–
When ESP is turned off or on, TCS is turned
off or on accordingly.
5.3.3 Hill Hold Control (HHC)
HHC allows the driver to easily move his foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal when
driving off on a slope without application of the
parking brake, so as to prevent accidents resulted
from rolling down.
Activation conditions of HHC
–
On a slope with a gradient of greater than 4%,
when “P” or “N” position is not engaged, the
EPB is not applied, and the driver depresses
the brake pedal to stop the car and keep it
still, if at this time, the driver releases the
brake pedal, the HHC function will be
activated to apply brake pressure and keep
the pressure for 1 s.
–
When the HHC function is working, if the
engine torque exceeds the drag torque of the
car, the brake pressure will be released and
you will drive off successfully.
–
During driving downhill with “R” position
engaged, the HHC function will also work.
NOTE
•
During driving off on a steep slope or
driving downhill with “R” position engaged,
HHC will automatically apply brake to
prevent rolling down.
•
HHC is integrated in the ESP system. If
HHC fails, the ESP indicator lamp will light
up, and a graphic prompt message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster display.
