Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBP), Elektronische Bremskraftverteilung (EBV)
dynamically adjusts the hydraulic pressure supplied to the rear wheels during braking. Compared to a more conventional methods, e.g. a fixed ratio valve, it thus enhances braking effectiveness by allowing the rear brakes to supply a greater proportion of the braking effort without a loss of vehicle stability. During braking, EBP senses if both rear wheels are tending to lock in equal amounts by comparing the sensed wheel speeds on the rear and front wheels, and limits or reduces the brake pressure to the rear wheels. This ensures proper brake proportioning for differing vehicle loads and maneuvering conditions. It also promotes increased brake pad life. The controller is a MK20e instead of the normal MK20 and also requires different, more sensitive DC wheel speed sensors.
