Cornering Brake Control (CBC)

The CBC function is activated in the event of medium to high lateral acceleration. If a vehicle drives into a curve under braking and threatens to oversteer, an increase in stability is achieved through a partial release of the rear wheel brake nearest the curve.

During corner braking, CBC provides the best possible directional stability through optimum brake force distribution. The hydraulic pressure in the rear brake calipers is controlled individually to prevent the vehicle from oversteering.

CBC controls the vehicle prior to ABS or DSC intervention. CBC also operates even when DSC is deactivated and CBC is deactivated in the event of an ABS failure.
