What is a primary function of the Active Yaw Control Systems (AYC)?

The primary function of Active Yaw Control Systems (AYC) is to enhance vehicle stability by managing how much each wheel turns relative to the others, particularly during cornering. By using torque vectoring, the system can apply different amounts of torque to individual wheels. This responsiveness helps to maintain optimal traction and control, effectively reducing both understeering and oversteering situations.

When a vehicle begins to skid or lose traction during turning, the AYC steps in to adjust the torque, ensuring that the vehicle remains stable and adheres to its intended path. This proactive intervention makes it a critical component for improving handling dynamics and safety. It does not simply control momentum or distribute weight evenly; instead, its focus is on real-time adjustments to wheel power in relation to vehicle dynamics during driving conditions. Thus, while aspects related to momentum control and weight distribution are important for overall vehicle performance, they are not the direct functions of AYC.
