    Characteristic maps Characteristic maps consist of a value table, a 3D view and differ- ent buttons. Characteristic maps must be ac- tivated.

The advantage of precontrol is that slip control does not produce any unsteadiness in the chassis and suspension.

  • Page 42 This difference between tyre radius for the front and rear wheels caused by the heel angle has to be subtracted from the target slip. This is done with SlipCor Mod characteristic maps 1-4, which can be applied depending on front wheel speed and heel angle.
