Cornering Brake Control (CBC)

CBC is a subfunction of DSC.

The CBC function is activated at medium to high lateral acceleration.

If a vehicle goes into a curve as it is being braked and threatens to oversteer, an increase in stability is achieved through partial release of the inner cornering rear-wheel brake.

In the case of braking on bends, the pressure in the rear-axle wheelbrake cylinders is individually controlled. Essentially this prevents the vehicle from oversteering.

When decelerating on bends, CBC ensures the best possible directional stability by means of optimum brake-force distribution.

CBC:

• performs its control function ahead of ABS or DSC
• also functions when DSC is deactivated
• is deactivated only in the event of an ABS failure
