General

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) adds a further dimension to the traction control system. The traction control system was designed for longitudinal stability and providing the optimum traction for driving off. DSC adds lateral control to this already proven system. It is designed to help correct oversteer and understeer conditions while driving through corners.

The DSC II system monitors the input values from the two front wheel speed sensors and the steering angle sensor. The rotational speeds of the front wheels for the given turning angle are compared to the programmed values in the DSC control module. If the values are outside the programmed limits, DSC regulation will be activated. The control regulation follows the same outputs as for traction control regulation with:

^ Throttle valve regulation
^ Engine intervention
^ Rear brake control

The control phases are brief and only occur long enough to correct the unstable condition.
