| 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. | |||
