Study Notes
- VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) enhances driving stability by automatically correcting a vehicle’s lateral behavior based on sideslip detection.
- VDC utilizes various sensors to monitor the driver’s steering and braking, as well as the vehicle’s dynamic state.
- The VDC system enhances vehicle stability during evasive maneuvers and assures steering control and braking performance.
- VDC is effective even at low speeds.
- VDC does not increase friction between tires and road surfaces, nor does it enhance a vehicle’s maximum performance.
- Activation of VDC is indicated by the VDC buzzer or slip indicator lamp, signaling that the vehicle is near its performance limits, requiring the driver to take precautions.
- VDC prevents spinning during lane changes on slippery roads by regulating engine output.
- VDC controls the braking force at all four wheels to reduce oversteer and maintain driving stability.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
- ABS electronically controls brake fluid pressure to prevent wheel lock during sudden braking on slippery surfaces.
- ABS improves a vehicle’s stability in braking.
- ABS makes steering easier to avoid obstacles.
