Holding pressure: Notes

When the filling pulse is concluded, the respective inlet valves close in order to prepare for individual modulation for each wheel.

Wheels on which the ESP system does not apply brakes: Pressure will be maintained with the pressure increase and pressure relief valve closing on each circuit as well as closing of the inlet and outlet valves by each wheel. This occurs in order to prepare the system in the event that braking is necessary.
