Cornering Evaluation

Cornering Evaluation

This feature is activated when the control module detects a variation in front and rear wheel speeds (while cornering) from the DSC control module. In addition, the DSC monitors the steering angle sensor, yaw rate and overall vehicle speed to further determine the cornering forces.

When curves are recognized, the control module prohibits up shifting until the wheel speed signals equalize indicating the vehicle is driving straight ahead. Downshifts in conjunction with high power while negotiating a curve can have a negative influence on the stability of the vehicle.
