The Range Rover is fitted with new-generation Eletronic Stability Control (ESC) that incorporates multiple sensors to help ensure safe handling and cornering. By constantky monitoring critical functions, the system applies braking to each wheel and modulates engine power to keep your course steady and on-track. ESC also improve the safety of a vehicle's stability by detecting and minimizing skids. Because of higher center gravity, SUVs are more prone to rollover accidents than typical sedans. So this is one major reason why this system is very crucial to be installed in the Range Rover and could operate properly. The electronic stability control system doesn't work all alone -- it uses the car's other safety and regulatory devices, like anti-lock braking and traction control, to correct problems before they become accidents. The center of the ESC system is also the center of the car.
Using all the modern electronic systems at its disposal, the ESC can activate one or more individual brakes, depending on which wheel can increase driving safety the most, and control the throttle to lessen the speed at which the car is traveling. The sensor is looking for differences between the direction of the steering wheel and the direction the car is headed; the car's computer then makes the necessary corrections to bring the vehicle's direction of travel in line with what the driver wanted.
For your better understanding, please do watch the video below as it will show you how the system works. This system also applied to the Skoda cars.
As you can see on the video, the ESC will help you to emergencily dodge something without crashing on either the obctacle or the divider. In some cases, you could also skid and roll over the road. when the first turn is taken, the ESC controls the brake and if necessarily the engine and if need the transmission as well. The ESC controls the speed sensor on each wheel, the rotation sensor measure the car's rotation around its verticale axis and the steering angle sensor register's the driver steering intention. From the sensor signals, the controls unit compute when and how it has to intervin. The hydraulic unit will absorb and reduces the braking pressure in the brakes. When the obstacle shows up and the driver take his turn, the steering angle send and transmitted this to the ESC control unit. But the rotation rate sensor signals that the car is understeering. In split seconds, ESC brakes the left rear wheel very briefly and sharply. This produces the desired car directing force so that the car response as the driver intended. When the driver react to dodging the divider, the same program applies for the ESC to controls the brake and produce response as the driver intended. So this is how the RANGE ROVER ESC system works.
