SAFETY 49

Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
System
The EBD system is an integral part of the ESC
system and intervenes during braking,
distributing the brake force optimally between
front and rear wheels.
This guarantees greater braking stability for the
vehicle, preventing sudden locking of the rear
wheels and the consequent instability of the
vehicle.
Cornering Brake Control (CBC) System
The CBC acts when braking on corners,
optimizing the distribution of brake pressure on
the four wheels. The system prevents the
wheels on the inside of the corner (less affected
by the weight of the vehicle) from locking,
ensuring better stability and direction for the
vehicle.
Drag Torque Control (DTC) System
The Drag Torque Control (DTC) system is an
integral part of the ESC system and intervenes
in the event of sudden downshifting, or during
braking when the ABS intervene. This restores
torque to the engine, thus preventing excessive
drag at the drive wheels, which may lead the
wheels to lock and to a loss of vehicle stability,
above all in low-grip conditions.
AntiSlip Regulation (ASR) System
This is an integral part of the ESC system and
automatically operates in the event of one or
both drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet
roads (hydroplaning), and acceleration on
slippery, snowy, or icy roads, etc.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:

If the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR system intervenes, reducing the power
transmitted by the engine.

If the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it also intervenes automatically,
braking the wheel that is slipping.
WARNING!

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent all colli -
sions, including those resulting from exces -
sive speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent collisions resulting from loss of
vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe, atten -
tive, and skillful driver can prevent colli -
sions. The capabilities of an ESC equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reck -
less or dangerous manner which could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.

Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly
maintain your vehicle, may change the
handling characteristics of your vehicle,
and may negatively affect the performance
of the ESC system. Changes to the steering
system, suspension, braking system, tire
type and size or wheel size may adversely
affect ESC performance. Improperly
inflated and unevenly worn tires may also
degrade ESC performance. Any vehicle
modification or poor vehicle maintenance
that reduces the effectiveness of the ESC
system can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
