Stability control is a system designed to maintain vehicle stability and prevent accidents caused by loss of traction or skidding. It works by monitoring the speed, steering angle, lateral acceleration, yaw rate, and other factors that can affect the vehicle's stability. If it detects any instability, such as when driving on a wet or slippery road, the system will automatically apply brakes to individual wheels or reduce engine power to regain control and prevent skidding. This technology is particularly useful in improving safety during cornering, sudden lane changes, or emergency maneuvers.
