Stability system
The stability system (RSC
10
) minimises the risk
of overturning, for example during a sudden eva-
sive manoeuvre or if the car skids.
The system registers if and how much the car's
lateral inclination changes. This information is
used to calculate the risk of the car overturning. If
the car is at risk, its electronic stability control
system engages, the engine torque is reduced
and one or more wheels are braked until the car
has regained its stability.
WARNING
Under normal driving conditions, the system
improves the car's road safety, but this must
not be taken as a reason to increase speed.
Always follow the normal precautions for safe
driving.
