Description and principle of operation


The stability control function recognizes critical driving conditions, such as panic reactions in dangerous situations, and ensures vehicle stability by individually braking each wheel and intervening with the engine management system, without the need to operate the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.

The yaw control function is an additional function known as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which is related to the anti-lock brake system (ABS), the traction control system (TCS) and the electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). While the ABS/TCS function controls wheel slip during braking and acceleration (longitudinal dynamics), active yaw control ensures that the vehicle remains stable on the selected course.

The sensors measure steering wheel position, brake master cylinder pressure, yaw rate (yaw rate) and vehicle lateral acceleration (lateral acceleration). This enables the driver's intentions to be matched with the vehicle's immediate behaviour, and the stability control program can initiate appropriate corrective action in the event of a loss of stability.
