Operation Characteristics

VDC FUNCTION THAT PREVENTS OVERSTEER TENDENCY 

• During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer side of turn. Momentum is generated directing the vehicle toward the outer side of the turn. Oversteer is prevented.
