DBC: Dynamic Brake Control

The Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) provides support in emergency braking situations by automatically boosting the brake pressure. Advantage: Shortest possible stopping distances in emergency braking situations by achieving ABS control operation on all four wheels. In emergency braking situations, it is frequently the case that the brake pedal is not pressed strongly enough. ABS control range is then not activated. In the following situations, the return pump increases the brake pressure until ABS control range is activated:

• Rapid operation of the brake pedal with inadequate brake pedal force
• When the brake pedal is depressed slowly and the demand for deceleration is subsequently high, after one wheel reaches the ABS control threshold. Which wheel locks first will depend will depend upon the vehicle's load factor and the road surface's coefficient of friction. Example of a typical situation: The traffic situation slows, making light braking necessary at first, but then demands as short a stopping distance as possible.
