Driving stabilization

If the vehicle tends to oversteer, for instance, when cornering, the yaw-rate control can correct the steering angle on the front wheels. This stabilizes the vehicle (with the emphasis on convenience and comfort). In this driving situation, therefore, the Active Steering supports Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). DSC does not intervene unless the stabilizing effect of the steering does not suffice to counteract the tendency to yaw.

With conventional systems, the driver has to actively steer the vehicle in a straight line if the brakes are applied on a road surface with non-uniform coefficients of friction. In such situations, the Active Steering performs this active steering intervention, so stabilizing the vehicle. Compared to pure ABS control operation, Active Steering with yaw moment compensation shortens the stopping distance.
