Steering Assist Function
- The steering assistance function helps the driver to achieve an optimum steering reaction in critical driving situations.
- Steering assistance is provided with the aid of the EPS control unit and electronic stability program control unit.
- The following functions are performed here:
- Driver support through counter steering for a vehicle with oversteer
- Driver support for braking on varying road surfaces
- The current vehicle status is sensed by the electronic stability program control unit.
- If necessary, the steering assistance torque request signal is transmitted via CAN communication to the EPS control unit, which actuates the EPS actuator accordingly.
- EPS control unit changes the steering assist characteristic according to the transaxle mode switch status. Refer to Electric Shift Selector .
