Active dynamics control
A system that allows the driver to change
the handling and performance
characteristics of the vehicle.
Anti-lock Braking System
The Anti-lock braking system prevents the
wheels from locking when you brake. This
allows the vehicle to be steered during
braking maneuvers.
Automatic driver recognition cards
A card which must be on the person entering
the vehicle or the Tracker system signals
that the vehicle is being moved without
authorization.
Brake assist system
Brake assist system operates in emergency
braking situations. If you depress the brake
pedal quickly, Brake assist system
automatically increases the force being
applied to the brakes and thus shortens the
stopping distance.
Brake disc wiping
Brake disc wiping operates when the
windscreen wipers are switched on. It
prevents moisture build up on the brake
discs during periods of heavy rain, by
applying the brakes momentarily, so that the
pads touch the discs.
Brake steer
Brake steer offers the benefits of a torque
vectoring differential, but is integrated into
the braking system reducing weight and
providing excellent speed of response.
If the system detects that the vehicle is
starting to understeer through a corner, the
inside rear brake is gently applied. This helps
to increase the yaw rate of the vehicle,
making the vehicle feel more resistant to
understeer. The lateral ‘g’ force is also
increased giving better handling
characteristics.
If the driver uses too much throttle exiting a
corner, the inside rear wheel increases
speed, which without brake steer could
cause the vehicle to become unstable. In this
situation, brake steer will again gently apply
the brake on the inside rear wheel, thereby
restoring traction and stability.
Cylinder cut
When calling for an upshift at moderate
engine speeds under hard acceleration
within Sport powertrain mode, the number
of firing engine cylinders are cut to rapidly
decrease the engine torque and engine
speed allowing faster upshifts to be
achieved. This will make the upshift more
audibly noticeable than a normal upshift.
This also occurs in Track powertrain mode,
but at high engine speeds it is replaced by
inertia push. See Inertia push, page 6.18.
Electronic brake pre-fill
If the accelerator pedal is suddenly released,
the electronic brake pre-fill function
immediately brings the brake pads into
contact with the discs, making for more rapid
braking.
Electronic Stability Control
ESC monitors driving stability and traction
between the tires and the road surface.
Global Positioning System
By means of the appropriate receivers,
satellite signals supply information on the
geographical position of the vehicle. These
