To ensure a more uniform braking during an emergency, what should be done with the EOT?

• A. Do not use the EOT
• B. Place the EOT in normal operation
• C. Place the EOT in emergency
• D. Disconnect the EOT

Answer: (C)

Engaging the EOT in emergency mode puts the brake system into its most coordinated, high‑response state. In this mode, the system actively commands brake pressure across all wheels in a way that balances deceleration, working with ABS/ESP logic to prevent one wheel from locking up while another under-brakes. This uniform distribution across wheels helps maintain directional stability and maximizes stopping effectiveness during a sudden stop. Leaving the EOT in normal operation or disconnecting it removes that emergency coordination, making it harder to achieve even braking when rapid deceleration is needed. Not using the EOT at all eliminates the protective logic designed to ensure uniform braking.
