When Should the Crawl Control System Be Used?
1 Answers
Crawl control system is primarily used when climbing steep slopes or driving on special road conditions such as rain and snow-covered roads, rocky paths, and sandy terrain. It automatically controls the engine and brakes, maintaining low-speed driving to achieve excellent and stable off-road capability. Here are some relevant details: 1. The Crawl Control (CRAWL-Control) system, officially known as the 'Low-Speed Cruise Driving Assist System,' can be simply understood as: the vehicle independently controls engine torque output, the transmission system, and the braking system, allowing the vehicle to pass through rough terrain at an extremely slow speed. Its main purpose is to prevent wheel slippage or getting stuck due to excessive speed. In other words, this crawl system does not require the driver to manually operate the vehicle. Instead, it uses a computer system to autonomously control the vehicle, adjusting torque output and distributing braking force to all four wheels based on road conditions, thereby achieving wheel slip limitation. 2. Different automakers have varying names for systems with such functionality. For example, Land Rover refers to it as the All-Terrain Progress Control system, though their core functions are largely similar.
