152nDynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Highly sensitive sensors monitor the
number of revolutions of the wheels,
steering angle, lateral acceleration,
brake pressure and the movement of
the vehicle around its vertical axis.
You may need some time to become
accustomed to this system's interven-
tion. However, it provides optimum
drive force and vehicle stability.
The braking intervention may be
accompanied by sounds specific to the
system.
When the system detects substantial
differences in rotation rates between
wheels, it acts to inhibit uncontrolled
wheelspin by reducing the drive torque
transmitted to the affected wheel(s),
while also initiating selective braking
intervention as needed.
In addition, DSC permanently monitors
the vehicle's current operating condi-
tion and compares it with an ideal
status calculated based on sensor
signals. DSC reacts to deviations from
this ideal status, such as incipient
understeer or oversteer, to restore the
vehicle's stability using a combination
of adjustments to engine torque and
selective braking applications at indi-
vidual wheels. Dangerous skids are
thus prevented before they can even
start, all of this is possible, of course,
only within physically possible limits.
