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) 4

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 pressure is applied 5

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 – faster response to brake request inputs 6
Summary of the content on the page No. 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 7

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 8

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 the high pressure charge pump in the hydraulic unit) • pressure sensors • control valves • leak tests • operational checks Note: self-tests are constantly conducted during driving (~ once every 16 brake applications) 9

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 minutes 10
