Λίγα νέα όσον αφορα τη χρήση του ESP σε κατόχους του.....
In 4H (no lock) ESP and TCS are activated.
In 4H locked, the ESP and TCS are activated.
In 4L, the ESP is shut off and TCS remains. (!!!)
In 4H locked or not locked, when hitting the gas enough (there is a threshold set in the computer, no real need to floor it) ESP and TCS shut off to prevent damage to the drive train and abuse on the brakes.
(κολπάκι για απενεργοποίηση του όταν θέλουμε να παίξουμε με χιονια και αλλα...)
In 4H locked or not locked, when pressing ESP OFF to deactivate it, TCS remains. (!!!)
Both TCS and ESP are making use of the ABS system, the only difference in between (outside that ESP also looks at the front wheels direction) is that ESP also controls engine power.
When TCS is solicited too much it will automatically shut off to prevent the brakes from heating too much and will resume after a “certain” amount of time.
Πηγή.... "Αντιπροσωπία Καναδά" (Η επίσημη απάντηση σε χρήστη που έστειλε γράμμα όσον αφορά τη χρήση του)
Οσοι έχετε ESP οπως φαντάζομαι ηδη θα γνωριζετε όταν εχουμε 4H locked or not locked, και πατάμε το ESP σε θέση OFF αυτό απενεργοποιειται αλλα μεχρι την ταχύτητα των 30 χλμ απο εκει και πέρα είναι πάλι ενεργό.....
Σε ερώτηση του προηγουμενου χρήστη στην αντ/πια του είπαν οτι αυτό δεν σκοπεουν να το αλλαξουν για να ειναι τελειως ανενεργό γιατί καλύπτονται και απο τις βλέψεις και την νομοθεσια των κυβερνησέων οπου σκοπευουν στο μελλον να το κανουν υποχρεωτικό (μετα το 2010) παντού σε ολα τα αυτοκινητα [σουβλακια και μη (ποσο μαλλον στα σουβλακια)]
Ορίστε και το αρθρο που ηδη κυκλοφόρησε στην Ουασινγκτον απο το 2006
published September 14th 2006:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal government announced
today that ESP(R) stability control, a safety system pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, will be required on all future cars. In making the announcement, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) cited its analysis showing conclusively that cars equipped with stability control are 35 percent less likely to be involved in a collision. Additionally, sport utility vehicles with stability control are involved in 67 percent fewer accidents than SUVs without the system. SUVs usually have a higher center of gravity, and ESP has been found to be especially effective in reducing rollovers. NHTSA analyzed more than 40,000 collisions over a period of six years, focusing on similar vehicles with and without stability control. The dramatic results include similar reductions in fatal accidents as well.
ESP-equipped cars had 30 percent fewer fatal crashes, and sport utility vehicles with ESP were 63 percent less likely to be in a deadly collision. Now being used by other manufacturers, stability control systems reduce the likelihood of all fatal accidents by 43 percent and fatal single-vehicle crashes by 56 percent, according to another accident study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). When the IIHS recently updated the results of their 2004 accident study, they found that stability control provides even more life-saving benefits for SUVs. Although the safety system provides significant benefits to both cars and SUVs, sport utility vehicles with stability control are reported to have 80 percent fewer rollovers than vehicles without the system. The study also concluded that the risk of all types of single-vehicle crashes in an SUV was reduced by 49 percent.
Υ.Γ. Και μετά μου λέγατε όταν έψαχνα για το ESP.... έλα μωρε τι να το κάνεις σε αυτοκινητο με μονιμη 4κινηση και εχει μονο 140 αλογα και αλλα τέτοια.....
Για να υποστηρίξω και τα λόγια μου ορίστε και μερικα βιντεακια ......
