EDS works in conjunction with ABS. EDS operates in automatic mode, without the participation of the driver.
Using ABS sensors, the device controls the speed of the drive wheels up to a speed of about 40 km/h. The device specifically brakes spinning wheels (e.g. on a slippery road), and those with better grip get increased traction.
You must adhere to the following recommendations:
When starting off, depress the accelerator pedal according to road conditions. When the wheel slips due to an extreme difference in the coefficient of adhesion of the driving wheels across the width of the roadway (e.g. one wheel on ice) press the accelerator pedal so that the car starts moving.
When accelerating on a road that is equally slippery across the entire width, for example, in ice and snow, carefully press the accelerator pedal. Particularly on front-wheel drive vehicles, there is a risk that the drive wheels will spin despite EDS and thereby impair driving stability.
The EDS is switched off for a short time to prevent the braking wheel's disc brake from overheating under unusually high loads. At the same time, the vehicle is ready for operation and has the same properties as a vehicle without EDS.
