4 SBC Incorporates these Functions: ABS (Anti lock Brakes 1984) + ASR (Automatic Slip Regulation 1991) + ETS (Electronic Traction System 1995) + ESP (Electronic Stability Program 1996) + BAS (Brake Assist System 1998)[...]

5 Advantages of SBC • Improves metering of required brake pressure – each wheel can be precisely controlled • Improved BAS function – monitors release of accelerator pedal and application of brake – maximum pressure available immediately – pre - filling of system (overcoming play) – when the BAS function is anticipated, slight pressur[...]

6 Advantages of SBC • Electronic Brake Proportioning: EBP – allows brake proportioning front to back and side to side • No pedal vibration during ABS operation – eliminates “distraction” to the driver during critical moments – indicator light in instrument cluster signals traction loss • Improved driving dynamics: ABS, ASR, and ESP [...]

7 Advantages of SBC • Pressure reduction at standstill – reduces stress on components • Dry braking function – wiper input via CAN – ~every 7 to 14 minutes – brake actuation changes time interval[...]

8 Driving with SBC - Wake - Up SBC is functional as soon as it is “wakened” by: • opening a door (via CAN) • operating the central locking system (via CAN) • depressing the brake pedal • turning key to position 1 • operating parking brake • The Wake - Up may be followed by a Pre - Drive self Check performed by SBC[...]

9 Driving with SBC – Pre - Drive Check (PDC) When SBC performs a PDC after a "wake - up", the following are checked: Warning! Pressure is applied to brake calipers (~60 bar) • reservoir pressure (if low, it will be corrected by running th e high pressure charge pump in the hydraulic unit) • pressure sensors • control valves • le[...]

10 Driving with SBC – Delayed Off Function Time that SBC remains operational after use: • with vehicle stationary and was locked = 20 seconds • with vehicle stationary and ignition in “0”, brake pedal not operated = 2 minutes • with vehicle stationary, ignition in “0”, brake pedal operated in delayed off phase and released again = 4[...]
