Stability control system

• The operation and effects of the product
•<Makes the vehicle stable when cornering>

When turning sharply to avoid an obstacle or when driving on a surface that is unexpectedly slippery, the motion of the vehicle often becomes unstable, for example skidding sideways. This system has an apparatus which controls the motion of the vehicle in such cases to make it more stable. If the vehicle begins to skid sideways, this is detected by a sensor and the brakes at each wheel are suitably controlled so that the vehicle does not spin out or make a wide turn.

	Is sideways skid eliminated if this apparatus is installed?	The ability of the Stability Control System to maintain stability has limits, and there still is the danger that reckless driving will cause unforeseen accidents. Even if the Stability Control System is installed, always strive to drive safely according to road conditions, and when the warning light is operating please drive with special care.
