Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
Standard VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speeds, steering angle, brake
pressure, vehicle yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the driver’s intended path and the one
the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path.
Traction Control System (TCS)
VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking
force to the slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.
