5) ARP (Active Roll-Over Protection
The ARP (Active Roll-over Protection) system is a safety assistant device that minimizes, by controlling
brakes and the engine, the physical tendency of the vehicle rollover during sharp lane changes or U-
turns. For the system, software is added to the existing ESP system and no additional device or switch is
needed. One must note that the ARP system, just as general assistant devices including the ABS, is only
a safety assistant device using the ESP system and its function is useless when the situation overcomes
the physical power. Following picture shows how the ARP compensates the vehicle position by varying
each wheel's braking power to overcome the physical tendency of the vehicle rollover during sharp turns.

The vehicle driving condition is controlled by the internally programmed logic according to the input
signals from wheel speed sensor, steering angle sensor and lateral sensor.
During the ARP operation, vehicle safety (rollover prevention) takes the first priority and thus, stronger
engine control is in effect. Consequently, the vehicle speed decreases rapidly, so the driver must take
caution for the vehicle may drift away from the lane.

5) Hydraulic Circuit of HBA
The above figure shows one front and one rear wheel and the same hydraulic circuit forms as in the
ESP operation. When HECU recognizes that it is an emergency and it is required for hard braking,
depending on the pressure value of the brake pressure sensor and pressure changes caused by the
pressure sensor timing, it operates the pump immediately to apply the brake pressure at the wheels.
Then, the pressure in the pump increases until just before the corresponding wheel gets locked. The
motor still keeps rotating and the outlet valve and the separation valve will stay closed. When the wheel
starts to lock, the HBA function cancels and switches to ABS operation.
