ADB-X: Automatic Differential Brake gives the driver all the advantages of a fully automatic differential lock. ADB-X is directly connected to and controlled by Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). As soon as ADB-X recognises that a wheel is about to spin, DSC slows the wheel down until optimum grip is re-established. At the same time, the power of the engine is distributed among the remaining wheels. Depending on the traction required, ADB-X can control the brakes on all four wheels individually. If the available brake power is not sufficient, for example on an extremely slippery surface, the ADB-X control system can reduce engine power accordingly, guaranteeing optimum power transmission to all four wheels on virtually all kinds of surfaces.ADB-X also works when the driver has switched DSC off, while the automatic intervention of the brakes still ensures optimum traction and a temperature control system which protects the brakes from overheating.
