The Dynamic Stability Control system utilizes information on wheel speed, steering angle and vehicle body attitude to enhance the stability of the vehicle. This is achieved by controlling engine torque and application of the brakes at individual wheels. Dynamic Stability Control incorporates the following systems:
- ABS
- Traction Control
- Panic Brake Assist
- Active Yaw Control
- Braking in Curve Stability
The Dynamic Stability Control system software also controls the braking functions of the Adaptive Speed Control system. Refer to Speed Control article.
The Dynamic Stability Control software is contained within the ABS module and can apply or release braking force to each individual wheel, and increase or reduce engine torque to correct oversteer, understeer, wheel spin and wheel lock.
WARNING:
Although the vehicle is fitted with Dynamic Stability Control, it remains the drivers responsibility to drive safely according to the prevailing conditions.
