STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE ADVANCED ABS WITH STABILITY CONTROL

vehicle (in addition to potentially applying the trailer
brakes), thus applying a counter-force to better align the
vehicle with an appropriate path of travel. For example, in
an over-steer situation, the system applies the “outside”
front brake; while in an under-steer condition, the “inside”
rear brake is applied.
Yaw Control Example
The Bendix
®
Yaw Control system reduces engine throttle
and selectively applies brakes to reduce the vehicle
speed, thereby reducing the tendency to jackknife.
A Real World Example
Of How Yaw Control Operates:
Excessive speed exceeds the threshold, creating a
situation where a vehicle is likely to spin and jackknife.
