Stability Control (If Equipped) Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control Enhanced torque vectoring control is comprised of two elements: • Torque vectoring control which applies brake torque on the inner wheel in a curve for better traction and less understeer • Cornering understeer control which controls the yaw response of the vehicle under braking and acceleration on high and low friction surfaces. No action is required to activate torque vectoring control. It operates automatically due to vehicle operating conditions. Unlike electronic stability control, enhanced torque vectoring control does not slow the vehicle but does help control excessive wheel slip and gives the vehicle cornering agility. The system only increases performance. Because of this, enhanced torque vectoring control is not disabled when the AdvanceTrac system is off. 14 Fiesta (CCT)

Enhanced Torque Vectoring
Control
Enhanced torque vectoring control is
comprised of two elements:
Torque vectoring control which applies
brake torque on the inner wheel in a
curve for better traction and less
understeer
Cornering understeer control which
controls the yaw response of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration
on high and low friction surfaces.
No action is required to activate torque
vectoring control. It operates automatically
due to vehicle operating conditions.
Unlike electronic stability control,
enhanced torque vectoring control does
not slow the vehicle but does help control
excessive wheel slip and gives the vehicle
cornering agility. The system only increases
performance. Because of this, enhanced
torque vectoring control is not disabled
when the AdvanceTrac system is off.
