What is the function of the Vehicle Stability Control System?

The function of the Vehicle Stability Control System is to improve the vehicle's handling safety coefficient and driving convenience. Its usage method is: it automatically turns on after starting the vehicle, and pressing the off button can cancel it. The Vehicle Stability Control System is a system or program that enhances vehicle handling performance and effectively prevents the vehicle from losing control when it reaches its dynamic limits. It consists of a control unit, steering sensor, wheel sensor, skid sensor, and lateral acceleration sensor. The working principle of the Vehicle Stability Control System is: under the premise of the computer monitoring the vehicle's operating status in real time, it intervenes and regulates the engine and braking system.
I remember one rainy day when I was driving my child to school, the car suddenly skidded while turning, and the rear end swung out violently. I was so scared that my palms were sweating, but I felt the steering wheel twist in the opposite direction on its own, the wheels made a clicking sound a few times, and the car actually stabilized and pulled back! Later, I learned that it was the vehicle stability system intervening. It monitors the speed of each wheel and, if it detects an anomaly, brakes the skidding wheel individually. This system is truly a lifesaver, especially in winter when the road is icy or during emergency evasions—it can instantly help stabilize the car to avoid skidding or rolling over.
