Overview
EBD is an added function to the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) *1 which is designed
to properly control front/rear and left/right wheel braking force regardless of
the difference in load or the total number of occupants, load conditions, whether
the vehicle is decelerating, or when cornering. EBD helps ensure excellent vehicle
stability and contributes to the realisation of excellent braking performance.
1: Please refer to the ABS section
EBD is designed to merely assist the driver, and cannot achieve braking performance
that is beyond the capability of the wheels. Therefore, it is important for the
driver to maintain a speed and distance that are appropriate with the total number
of occupants, load or road condition, and when cornering.
Content of Safety Functions
Situation (Activation trigger)
When there is a difference in front/rear or left/right wheel load and br aking force
becomes different due to factors including different load conditions, decelerating,
or when braking while cornering
Function (System/Components)
Wheel speed sensor + Brake ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and Brake actuator
Operation (Operation mechanism)
Appropriately controls the braking force on the front/rear and left/right wheels
Result (Mechanical phenomenon after activation)
Helps ensure vehicle stability and excellent braking performance
Benefits
Helps ensure a stable vehicle posture and braking performance when there is a change
in the number of occupants or load condition, and even when the vehicle is cornering
and the vehicle center of gravity is likely to move. This provides a peace of mind
when pressing the brakes
