CD is create diversion. It is like the others have said when they brake hard it swerves to one side. This is the same type of thing but a bit more extreme as when you brake hard it creates a diversion through a hedge, ditch etc. :lol:

Someone told me that on their corsa if you braked hard enough the brakes would stay on even after you had stopped and let off the pedal. Sounds dangerous to me.

I have an emergency braking sound. When I have to brake heavily, there is sometimes a loud bang from the rear of the Disco. It sounds somewhat like a car hitting a towbar.

I know we've got (basically) the same engine as you, but I'd hazard a guess that the brakes are better, even if only due to the lower weight of the vehicle.
I know they're good when I've had the odd chav pull out & try to beat it
Oh, & Neil, I think I've got fully used to it now ;)

I've not had that myself, but a collegue initiated that particular 'EBS' the other day by striking a Discovery at a roundabout
