Adaptive Control
- Anti roll control
The transversal vehicle movement can be estimated by steering angle sensor and car speed. The maximum electric current control is restricted when the transverse jerk movement signal is beyond the set value. The calibration parameters are the jerk signal level controlling the damping force and damping force control amount and they can be set depending on the vehicle speed.
- Anti dive control
The speed reducing on the vehicle during braking is calculated by the car speed difference. The maximum electric current control is restricted when the calculated speed reduction is bigger than the set value. The calibration parameters are the speed reduction level and damping force controlling amount.
- Anti squat control.
The intention of accelerating by the driver can be expected with the acceleration pedal location information at the start. The maximum electric current control is restricted during acceleration when the location is beyond the set value. The calibration parameters are the speed reduction level and damping force controlling amount.
- Vehicle speed sensing control
It is a function to maintain the minimum damping force depending on vehicle speed. The maximum electric current is restricted.
The calibration parameter is the damping force controlling amount depending on vehicle speed.
- Damping control mode
The driver may choose either of two modes (Auto and Sport). The conversion of the damping mode is linked to the driving integration model. ECS control is performed in AUTO mode when NORMAL mode/ECHO mode/SNOW mode is selected in the driving integration mode switch. ECS control is performed in SPORT mode when SPORT mode is selected. The calibration parameters saved into ECU are changed depending on the selected damping control mode and the vehicle moving performance may differ for each mode. The ride comfort and steering stability are optimized in AUTO mode in general. The SPORT mode focuses on the steering stability.
