VDC Function That Prevents Oversteer Tendency

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Nissan Versa. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer side of turn. Momentum is generated directing the vehicle toward the outer side of the turn. Oversteer is prevented.

Changing driving lane on a slippery road, when there may be a tendency to oversteer, engine output is controlled as well as brake force (brake fluid pressure) of 4 wheels. Oversteer tendency decreases.
