Oversteer Behavior Suppression

2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i, Standard TransSECTION Oversteer Behavior Suppression

When the vehicle starts to spin during cornering, the VDC control module (VDCCM) actuates the brakes on the front and rear outer wheels. As a result, a yaw moment is generated in a direction that counteracts the yaw moment resulting from oversteer so that the vehicle's behavior is stabilized.
