To improve a vehicle's agility and stability when cornering, the motive force at the driven wheels is corrected with the help of the Electronic Stability Program ESP®. The VDM function Dynamic Wheel Torque Control reduces the engine's motive force on the wheel on the inside and increases this force on the wheel on the outside. As a result, the vehicle is more agile and can corner more quickly and stable – with less steering effort for the driver and less corrective ESP® interventions.
