Task 

The yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor measures the rotational speed about the vertical axis.

The integrated lateral acceleration sensor (AY sensor) measures the lateral acceleration.

The integrated longitudinal acceleration sensor (Ax sensor) detects longitudinal inclination.

The respective signals are read in via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H) by the Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4) (except code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS, except code (990) AMG vehicles, except hybrid) or by the Premium Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/7) (with code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS or with code (990) AMG vehicles, except hybrid) or by the regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) (with hybrid).
