Brake Pedal Fail When Cornering - Australia

[Tinerfeño]

Soft sidewalls would allow the effective rolling diameter to change during hard cornering.

There are steel belts below the tread. How the lenght of these will change?
Sidewall flex changes will not affect the forward movement per tyre rotation.

If I recall rightly, the automotive press reviewers of the new shape Jimny reported a similar issue when taking fast corners. Can't remember if Suzuki adjusted anything or it was just a case of it being that type of vehicle that needed early intervention?

Yes the Jimny does it with its soft rolly polly suspension on fast bends, going up or down hill with barriers in front. It applies the stability control/ABS and it’s quite scary when you don’t know.

Jimny during the testing phase disconnected the auto brake instead opted for the stability control instead.

The fix is to upgrade suspension (with less roll) and fit stronger sidewall AT tyres.

Another thing to mention here is (ADAS vehicles only). People who lift their vehicles, taller tyres, new windows fitted, winch fitted should ideally get their camera on the ADAS re calibrated (within a certain threshold). This is why sometimes it gives false alarms like this.

These are things I learned with the Jimny.
