Electronic Differential Lock
Cars equipped with anti-lock brake system (ABS), and can be equipped with an electronic differential lock (EDS). EDS system runs continuously in the automatic mode. EDS system control unit receives signals from wheel speed sensors of ABS. At speeds up to 40 km / h speed difference value of wheels removed automatically troll slipping wheels. Thus the torque transmitted through the differential to the other wheel increases. For optimal system performance EDS disperse correctly select it. On slippery roads (snow or ice), press the accelerator pedal gradually. Despite the work of EDS, the wheels can revolve and change the direction of movement of the car. Warning light ABS system also demonstrates the failure of EDS. For disaster recovery system is necessary to address on servicing cars. With strong heating of the brake pads EDS system is automatically switched off - the vehicle continues to move normally. ABS warning light is not illuminated. After cooling, the brake pads EDS system is automatically activated.
