Example Of ASC Operation

The ASC manages the vehicle attitude by creating a yaw moment from altering the balance between the cornering force and each wheel's braking mechanism.

For example, on a slippery surface, if the vehicle tends to be under-steered contrary to the driver's intention, a yaw moment (a rotational moment) is created to restrain the under-steering by increasing the rear-inside braking force. On the other hand, when the vehicle tends to be over-steered, a yaw moment (a restorative moment) is created to restrain the over-steering by increasing the front-outside braking force. Furthermore, when it is determined that the vehicle is over-speeding, safe and stable cornering is enabled by deceleration from restricting engine output.
