Description

7

Full

A state that the ESC converged with IT automatically detects every situations related to sudden cornering and cornering (ex: terrain conditions of driving roads, positions of steering, rotational speed of wheels and centrifugal force of vehicles etc.) to automatically control the vehicle’s optimum position (ex: individual driving force control for each wheel, engine power control, antiskid, brake assist and hold, active headrest etc.) for accident prevention and vehicle running stability

6

Convergence

5

Considerable

A state that the ESC converged with IT automatically detects partial situations related to sudden cornering and cornering (ex: part of terrain conditions of driving roads, positions of steering, rotational speed of wheels and centrifugal force of vehicles etc.) to automatically control the vehicle’s position depending on the recognized situations for accident prevention and vehicle running stability

4

Convergence

3

Slight

A state that the ESC converged with IT automatically detects partial situations related to sudden cornering and cornering, and provides the recognized information (ex: sliding condition levels of road surfaces) to effectively control the vehicle manually by drivers for accident prevention and vehicle running stability

2

Convergence

1

No convergence

A state that drivers control the vehicle’s position manually
