What does driver stability mean?
Stability control uses components and sensors from some of the vehicle’s other safety features, including anti-lock brakes (ABS). Brakes stop the wheels from turning, but it’s the tires gripping the asphalt that actually brings the vehicle to a halt, and even good tires can only do so much.
Why does the stability control light keep coming on?
If the light stays on constantly, it is likely that a malfunction has been detected or the system has been shut off manually. Most vehicles with a button to turn on the stability control should also have “off” written underneath the symbol so you will know the difference between a malfunction and the system being off.
How does traction control and stability control work?
Traction control and stability control systems are built on anti-lock brake systems, and all three technologies make use of the same wheel sensors. Generally, the light will illuminate when the computer is actively trying to maintain control. This light will stay lit only while the vehicle is not under control.

When does the car stability assist light come on?
Your car is equipped with a vehicle stability assist (VSA) system. It’s designed to help provide better traction during slippery driving conditions, as well as to prevent rollover and other problems. The light should briefly come on during startup.
How does a driving stability control system work?
Braking safely. The system controls the brake pressure in the rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior. When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost and thus helps to achieve the shortest possible braking distance during full braking.
What does driving stabilisation drive moderately warning mean?
“Drive stabilization. Drive moderately” Click to expand… Does your car have the Dynamic Handling package? If so, its most likely an issue with that system. Do you notice increased body roll or any clunks/grinds while turning? I only had that error once. I had a broken end link on the right rear of my car.
