Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

The ABS and ASC systems sense and react purely to wheel slip (longitudinal data) but cannot sense the sideways forces (lateral data) acting on the vehicle. ASC therefore has limited influence on stability when cornering.

DSC is fitted as a package with ABS, EBV, CBC, MSR and ASC. DSC interfaces with all these systems but, additionally, monitors the following items:

• Steering wheel movements via the steering angle sensor.
• Lateral (sideways) forces via the acceleration sensor in the DSC sensor cluster.
• Vehicle rotational speed via the yaw rate sensor in the DSC sensor cluster.
