Automatic Stability Control (ASC)

ASC prevents the wheels from spinning when the vehicle is accelerating.

Advantage: Improved traction and vehicle stability.

If one of the wheels of the drive axle is on a high-grip surface and the other is on a slippery surface, the wheel tending to skid is braked.

ASC also intervenes in the engine control (to reduce the ignition angle, injection quantity, throttle valve setting) in order to reduce/inhibit vehicle acceleration in the event of wheel slip.
