Ebs - Esp - Ford Cargo 2017 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
ESP is an auxiliary brake system.
Always remember that no system can
change the physical laws. Driving safety is
responsibility of the driver despite all auxiliary
systems.
EBS (Electronic Brake System)
EBS (Electronic Brake Control) is an
integrated braking system that includes sub-
systems.
1-Braking power control:
EBS control unit adjusts the braking power
on the wheels automatically based on the
information from the load sensor and the brake
pedal travel applied by the driver.
2-Automatic braking power distribution
between axles:
EBS adjusts the braking power that will be
applied to the axles based on the axle load.
3- ABS:
ABS maintains steering control by preventing
the locking of wheels during brakes.
4-Automatic Traction Control:
Main purpose of this function is to prevent
skidding of driven axle wheels.
a) Braking power control: The speeds of the
wheels of the driven axle are equalized by
decelerating the skidding wheel by braking.
b) engine torque is automatically limited to
ensure that the vehicle moves stably.
5-Inertia torque control:
Wheels may skid due to the engine inertia
in slippery surfaces. Especially, when the
transmission is downshifted and/or intarder is
activated, wheels may have an inclination to skid.
Inertia torque control system sends a signal
to engine control unit and adjusts the engine
torque to overcome the inertia of the engine.
CAUTION
Intarder may cause the vehicle to skid in
slippery road conditions.
6-Emergency brake assist system:
System senses the braking operation and
increases braking power according to the
pedal travel.

OPERATION

EBS - ESP

CAUTION
Emergency brake assist cannot increase the
maximum capacity of braking power. Vehicle
shall be braked in the limits of maximum
braking power.
7-Tilt prevention system:
System senses the risk of tilting automatically
when the brake is applied and decreases the
braking power of front wheels and increases
the braking power of rear axle. Thus, vehicle is
prevented from tilting.
