Stability Control System |
Name |
Second-Generation Active Handing |
Function |
Works with Corvette’s ABS and Traction Control systems to assist the driver in keeping the car stable and balanced in emergency or spirited driving conditions - on wet or dry surfaces.(2) Carefully calibrated to avoid unwanted intrusion into thedriving experience. |
Special Componentry |
Brake pressure modulator, steering wheel angle sensor, lateral accelerometer, and unique core software algorithms. |
2001 Improvements |
-Active Handling is now standard on all Corvette models
|
? |
-New lighter-weight Bosch 5.3 pressure modulator provides better overall response and improved pressure apply times in cold weather. |
? |
-Electronic rear proportioning algorithm eliminates rear brake proportioning valve. |
? |
-New algorithms for more precise, less intrusive control of sideslip angle rate, rear brake stability and wheelspin. |
? |
-The unique-to-Corvette Competitive Mode may now be activated without bringing the car to a stop |
(2) A Note of Caution: The overall effectiveness of the Corvette Active handling System is directly related to available tire traction and the aggressiveness of a given maneuver. Active Handling is designed to use existing traction to assist the driver - but it cannot overcome the laws of physics. Please drive responsibly. |
