Active Rollover Protection
- Active Rollover Protection
Active Rollover Protection (ARP), is a system that recognizes and selectively applies brakes to resist.
ARP builds on Electronic Stability Control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle - Anti-lock braking system, traction control and yaw control. ARP adds another function: detection of an impending tip or rollover. Excessive lateral force, which is generated by driving too fast in a corner or turn, may result in a rollover because of the high vehicle center of gravity. ARP automatically responds whenever it detects an unstable condition leading to a potential rollover. ARP rapidly applies the brakes with a high burst of pressure to the appropriate wheels to interrupt the rollover before it occurs.
