System Operation: EBD
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Land Rover LR4, 2012 Land Rover LR4, 2011 Land Rover LR4, and 2010 Land Rover LR4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
electronic brake force distribution (EBD) limits the brake pressure applied to the rear wheels. When the brakes are applied, the weight of the vehicle transfers forwards, which reduces the ability of the rear wheels to transfer braking effort to the road surface. This can cause the rear wheels to slip and make the vehicle unstable.
electronic brake force distribution (EBD) uses the anti-lock braking hardware to automatically optimize the pressure of the rear brakes, below the point where anti-lock braking would be invoked. Only the rear axle is under electronic brake force distribution (EBD) control.
