As is already familiar from the G12, the G30 does not have Integrated Chassis Management (ICM). The ICM functions are distributed between the optional equipment system (SAS) and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
It has been possible to further improve the driving dynamics in the G30 by selective use of various control functions. This is particularly keenly felt in relation to the steering behavior, the traction and the vehicle's stability.
The control units necessary to meet the requirements on driving dynamics are located on the FlexRay bus. This allows them to quickly exchange their information with each other and react to events.
The following actuators are activated as needed:
- Rear axle slip angle control HSR (optional equipment)
- Electronic Power Steering EPS (standard equipment)
- DME engine control unit
- VTG transfer case (optional equipment)
- Electric active roll stabilization at the front and rear (EARSV/EARSH) (optional equipment)
- Electronic Damper Control (EDC) (optional equipment)
The tables below provide an overview of the various control functions and their effects on the drivability.
