VSA Control

Oversteer Suppression Control 

When the vehicle goes into oversteer, the oversteer suppression control outputs a brake pressure signal through the VSA modular-control unit that is optimally distributed between the outside front and rear wheels. This action generates a moment that suppresses the oversteer and stabilizes the vehicle.

Understeer Suppression Control 

When the vehicle is experiencing understeer, the understeer suppression control outputs a brake pressure signal through the VSA modular-control unit that is optimally distributed between the inside front and rear wheels. This action generates a moment that suppresses the understeer. Also during acceleration, the PCM outputs an engine torque down signal to increase the drive wheel cornering force to help maintain steerability and improve line traceability.
