DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Operation

ABS Braking Mode
The ABS ECU controls the ABS function of the system in two ways:

1 Engine intervention
2 Braking intervention.

During brake intervention the ABS ECU energizes the inlet and outlet solenoid valves of the related brake and starts 
the return pump. The inlet solenoid valve closes to isolate the brake from pressurized fluid; the outlet solenoid valve 
opens to release pressure from the brake into the expansion chamber and the return pump circuit. The brake releases 
and the wheel begins to accelerate. The ABS ECU then operates the inlet and outlet valves to control the supply of 
hydraulic pressure to the brake and apply the maximum braking effort (for the available traction) without locking the 
wheel.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
The DSC system is designed to improve the lateral stability of the vehicle in all driving situations.

The DSC system is active unless switched off by the DSC switch in the dashboard. When switched off the DSC 
warning lamp is permanently illuminated.

1 DSC switch

DSC optimises dynamic stability, even in critical driving situations. The system controls dynamic stability when 
accelerating and when starting from a standstill. Additionally, it identifies unstable driving behaviour, such as under-
steering and over-steering, and helps to keep the vehicle under control by manipulating the engine output and 
applying the brakes at individual wheels. Some noise may be generated when the brakes are applied. The system is 
ready to operate each time the engine is started.

The indicator lamp in the instrument pack extinguishes shortly after the engine has been started (see earlier section). 
If the indicator lamp flashes, the system is active, regulating engine output and brake forces. If the lamp does not 
extinguish after starting the engine, or illuminates continuously during a journey, the system has a fault, or has been 
de-selected using the switch provided. Without DSC, the vehicle may be driven as normal, but at the limit of adhesion 
its behaviour will be less predictable.
