What does VSC Vehicle Stability Control System mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle Stability Control is an active safety system developed by Toyota that significantly improves vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. Here is relevant information about the Vehicle Stability Control System: 1. System Introduction: The Vehicle Stability Control System, also known as the Anti-Skid Control System (Skid-Control-System), was first adopted in domestically produced vehicles by Toyota's Corolla Altis (referred to as VSC by Toyota). Currently, most higher-priced domestic vehicles widely use this system. The Vehicle Stability Control System is an active safety system that includes ABS and ASR, preventing wheel lock-up during braking (ABS) and wheel slip during acceleration (ASR). 2. Working Principle: When a car is turning, if the front wheels reach their adhesion limit first, it causes a 'plowing out' phenomenon. In this situation, no matter how the driver turns the steering wheel, the turning radius cannot be reduced, making it difficult to follow the intended path and resulting in understeer. If the rear wheels reach their adhesion limit first, a 'fishtailing' phenomenon occurs, making the car itself unstable and quickly pulling it towards the direction of the turn, known as oversteer.
