Arp (Active Roll-Over Protection) - SSANGYONG Actyon Sports II 2012.01 Manual

5) ARP (Active Roll-Over Protection
The ARP (Active Roll-over Protection) system is a safety assistant device that minimizes, by
controlling brakes and the engine, the physical tendency of the vehicle rollover during sharp lane
changes or U-turns. For the system, software is added to the existing ESP system and no
additional device or switch is needed. One must note that the ARP system, just as general
assistant devices including the ABS, is only a safety assistant device using the ESP system and its
function is useless when the situation overcomes the physical power. Following picture shows
how the ARP compensates the vehicle position by varying each wheel's braking power to
overcome the physical tendency of the vehicle rollover during sharp turns.
Lateral sensor
(In sensor cluster)
The vehicle driving condition is controlled by the internally programmed logic according to the
input signals from wheel speed sensor, steering angle sensor and lateral sensor.
During the ARP operation, vehicle safety (rollover prevention) takes the first priority and thus,
stronger engine control is in effect. Consequently, the vehicle speed decreases rapidly, so the
driver must take caution for the vehicle may drift away from the lane.
