2001 Improvements
Second-Generation Active Handing
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 thedrivinJl experience.
Brake pressure modulator, steering wheel angle sensor, lateral
accelerometer, and unique core software algorithms.
• -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 responsibllf.
