SKYWORTH BE11 General Safety Systems & Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Braking & Stability Systems

• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
  Utilises wheel speed sensors to detect when a wheel is on the verge of locking up. It then rapidly pulses the brakes, enabling the driver to retain steering control while braking hard.
• EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution)
  Monitors wheel speed and weight distribution to adjust the braking force between the front and rear wheels, preventing skidding or loss of control.
• BA (Brake Assist)
  Detects fast brake pedal pressure, which indicates an emergency stop, and enhances braking force to minimize stopping distance.
• EBA (Emergency Brake Assist)
  Collaborates with the braking system to automatically apply maximum brake force during emergency braking situations, ensuring quicker stops.
• TCS (Traction Control System)
  Utilises wheel speed sensors to detect wheel slip and automatically reduces engine power or applies brake force to specific wheels for maintenance grip.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
  Continuously monitors the steering angle, wheel speed, and lateral acceleration. If the car starts to skid, ESC selectively applies brakes to individual wheels to stabilize the vehicle.
• DSC (Dynamic Stability Control)
  Like ESC, DSC is more advanced as it applies selective braking and adjusts engine power output to correct oversteer or understeer.
• HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
  Utilises the braking system to secure the vehicle for a few seconds after the brake pedal is released on an incline, preventing rollback.
• HDC (Hill Descent Control)
  Utilises the braking system to automatically reduce the vehicle’s speed while descending steep slopes, enabling the driver to concentrate on steering.
• RBA (Reverse Brake Assist)
  This driver assistance feature enhances safety during reversing manoeuvres. It employs sensors, cameras, and radar to detect obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles behind the car, automatically applying the brakes if an imminent collision risk is detected.
• AH (Auto Hold)
  Engages the brakes when the car stops and releases them when the accelerator is pressed, preventing any unintended rolling.

Tyre & Monitoring Systems

• TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
  Utilises sensors within the tyres to monitor air pressure and alerts the driver if the pressure falls below a safe level.
• TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition)
  Utilises a front-facing camera to identify road signs, including speed limits and stop signs, displaying them on the dashboard.
• OSW (Overspeed Warning)
  When the vehicle reaches a preset speed, it alerts the driver that they have surpassed that set limit.
• Surround View Dash Cam
  Utilizes multiple wide-angle cameras positioned around the vehicle (front, rear, and sides) to continuously record video only on a separate removable USB drive while the vehicle is in operation.
• DMS (Driver Monitoring System)
  Utilises infrared cameras and sensors to monitor eye movement, facial expressions, and head position, identifying drowsiness or distraction.

Collision Avoidance & Parking Assistance

• ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
  Uses radar and cameras to monitor traffic ahead, automatically adjusting speed to keep a safe following distance.
• AVM (Around View Monitoring System)
  A car system that utilises multiple cameras to deliver a virtual 360° view of the vehicle’s surroundings. This assists drivers in parking and manoeuvring more safely and smoothly. Displayed on the centre screen.
• HD Reverse Image with Dynamic Guidance
  An HD-quality image with an integrated sensor that detects the movement of the car and adjusts the guidelines to align with your car’s turning angle while in motion.
• ICA (Intelligent Cruise Assist)
  Integrates ACC with lane-keeping technology to assist the vehicle in staying centred within its lane while maintaining a predetermined speed.
• LKA (Lane Keeping Assist)
  Uses cameras to identify lane markings and subtly adjusts steering to keep the car from veering out of its lane.
• ELKS (Emergency Lane Keeping System)
  It is similar to LKA but more aggressive; it intervenes firmly if the vehicle is dangerously leaving its lane or traveling at high speed.
• BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
  Employs radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles in the blind spot and notifies the driver through visual or audible alerts.
• LDW (Lane Departure Warning)
  Monitors lane markings and sends warnings if the vehicle starts to drift without signalling a turn.
• RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
  Utilises radar to detect vehicles approaching from the side during reverse manoeuvres and alerts the driver.
• RCTB (Rear Cross Traffic Braking)
  Functions like RCTA but actively engages the brakes if a collision is imminent while reversing.
• APA (Automated Parking Assist)
  Uses cameras and ultrasonic sensors to scan for parking spaces and controls the steering and speed while maneuvering.
• FCW (Forward Collision Warning)
  Utilises cameras and radar to identify vehicles or obstacles in front and alerts the driver of a possible collision.
• AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking)
  If FCW detects a potential collision and the driver does not respond, AEB automatically engages the brakes to lessen or prevent impact.
• FPR (Front Parking Radar)
  Utilizes cameras and ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance from the front of the vehicle to potential obstacles. Distances are displayed on the vehicle’s center screen.
• RPR (Rear Parking Radar)
  Like FPR, these ultrasonic sensors monitor the distance from the rear of the vehicle to potential obstacles, with the distances displayed on the vehicle’s center screen.
• AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System)
  Generates artificial sound at low speeds to alert pedestrians to the vehicle’s presence.

Occupant Protection & Alert Systems

• DFW (Driver Fatigue Warning)
  A safety system intended to detect signs of driver drowsiness or inattention and alert the driver to take corrective action, such as taking a break or maintaining focus. It analyses steering patterns, lane-keeping, and braking irregularities to assess fatigue or distraction.
• Child Seat Restraint Anchor Points
  ISOFIX x 2 in the rear outboard positions and three high-mount tether points in each rear seat position.
• Height-adjustable front Seat Belts
  By using height-adjustable anchorage points, the front seatbelts can be optimally adjusted to accommodate the size of the car occupant and their preferred seating position.
• Seat Belt Reminder
  Utilising smart devices that provide visual and audible confirmation to the driver of seatbelt use in various seating positions.
• DAB (Driver Attention Booster)
  Monitors driver engagement by assessing steering input and other factors, delivering reminders to maintain focus on the road.
• Front Seat Belt Pretensioner with Force Limiter
  The belt force limiter reduces the force of the seat belt beyond a specific threshold and, along with belt tensioners and airbags, helps mitigate the risk of upper body injuries to front passengers.

Airbags

• Front Drivers & Passenger Airbags
  Front airbags are designed to protect the driver and front passenger during a frontal collision by reducing the impact on their heads, necks, and chests.
• PAB (Passenger Airbag Deployment Control)
  Utilises weight sensors in the passenger seat to assess airbag deployment intensity according to passenger size.
• SAB (Side Airbags)
  Airbags deploy from the sides of the front seats during a side impact to protect the occupants.
• CAB (Curtain Airbags)
  Inflates from the ceiling next to the windows during a side impact or rollover, offering head protection for passengers.
