Yaw-rate control

2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION Yaw-rate control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 530xi, 2007 BMW 525xi, 2006 BMW 530xi, and 2006 BMW 525xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the vehicle tends to oversteer, for instance, when cornering, the yaw-rate control can correct the steering angle on the front wheels. This stabilizes the vehicle (with the emphasis on convenience and comfort). In this road situation, therefore, the Active Steering supports Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).

DSC does not intervene unless the stabilizing effect of the steering does not suffice to counteract the tendency to yaw.
