I've been trying to figure out the differences between AdSR/ASPC/Low Friction Launch etc and what should be enabled in certain citations (snow, off-road, mud, sand, etc)
:
AdSR - Adaptive Surface Response - option with Adaptive Dynamics Package (unless you have some high end trims). It replaces rain/ice snow option in configurable dynamic mode. Works at all speeds and adjusts engine and brake settings in "challenging surfaces".
ASPC - All Surface progress Control - available in all trims by default. Low speed cruise control. It helps to "drive in challenging conditions".
Low Friction Launch - helps to further enhance low speed maneuvering and pulling away from a standstill in adverse conditions. It works better when AdSR is enabled.
There is also DSC, TrackDSC and Torque Vectoring which also have to be aware somehow of the above systems. All of this is little confusing. Maybe somebody can add some details to the above or point to more detailed specifications of those systems.
Some questions which cam to my mind after reading the marketing descriptions of those features:
AdSR/ASPC - from where the systems takes inputs? Is he using the same sensors as the ones adjusting the torque between the wheels (Intelligent Drive Line Dynamics?)
What should be used low speed driving on slippery conditions? Why do we need ASPC while having AdSR? I would guess that take inputs from the same sensors and do similar things (adjusting torque to the wheels with traction).
Is there a situation when both ASPC and AdSR should be turned on?
Why do even need Low Speed Launch having AdSR and ASPC. I am wondering if multiple systems works at the same time (I assume they all should do similar things like adjust brakes, engine, torque) which one takes precedence. I hope that somebody has some more inside info and can clarify those options.
