Driving safety took a big step forward in the mid-1990s when electronic stability control was introduced. The German auto supplier Bosch developed the first system, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-series were the first cars to use the new safety and regulatory devices.It's been more than a decade since electronic stability control was first introduced, and it goes by many names, depending on the company. Audi calls it the Electronic Stability Program, or ESP; at Ford, it goes by Advance
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.
Four-wheel-drive (4WD) and All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles such as the Australian made Ford Territory may have a Hill Descent Control system installed, using the ABS braking to control the car's motion downhill, initially developed by Bosch for Land Rover . The system can be controlled, usually by the Cruise Control buttons near or on the steering wheel. Hill Descent Control (HDC) allows a smooth and controlled hill descent
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), is typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels. When invoked it therefore enhances driver control as throttle input applied is mis-matched to road surface conditions (due to varying factors) being unable to manage applied torque.Intervention consists of one or more of the following:-Reduces or suppress
