(Lateral slip prevention)
The driver’s driving habits are detected from the steering angle, engine speed, selected gear and braking conditions to constantly calculate the best driving mode for the vehicle. Actual driving conditions are monitored by each sensor. This electronic control system takes this information to constantly and automatically optimise traction and stability with a computer. Torque distribution between the front and rear wheels is optimised, torque distribution between left and right wheels is controlled when braking, and engine output also controlled in a flash, without hindering the sporty driving required by the driver, all to maintain a safe level of driving.
Multi-mode Vehicle Dynamics Control System
(WRX STI)
An electronic control system that brings driving conditions and vehicle behaviour close to the driver's ideal settings. The system achieves this by determining driving conditions and the driver’s intentions with a computer, controlling understeer and oversteer through braking control on each wheel and a limit to engine power output. Traction is used to extract the maximum level of sporty driving available with the potential of the WRX STI.
