Corner Brake Control (CBC)

CBC can occur if the vehicle is cornering and ABS regulation is not taking place.

If the control unit detects transverse acceleration in excess of 0.6g and the brakes are applied, CBC prevents a build up in brake pressure to the inside rear wheel. This prevents the vehicle from entering into an unstable situation that can lead to Oversteer  .

The MK60 accomplishes this by closing the Inlet Valve, thus not allowing brake pressure to increase at the brake caliper.

The difference in braking force between the two rear wheels creates a yaw force that opposes the oversteer and allows the vehicle to handle neutrally  .
