Electronically Controlled Deceleration
The electronically controlled deceleration (ECD) reacts to a demand from the Active Cruise Control (ACC).
When ACC requires deceleration, DSC responds by applying the disc brakes on all four wheels (maximum rate of deceleration 2.5 m/s2 ).
When the car is on a decent with the speed preset by the driver, ECD automatically applies the brakes in order to keep the car's speed constant at the preset value.
When the brakes are applied automatically in this way, the brake lights are activated in accordance with the requirements of road safety legislation. The light module does not activate the brake lights unless the vehicle's rate of deceleration is greater than 1m/s 2. This prevents the brake lights from flickering on and off.
