شكل بالا كارايي سيستم vsc را در خودرو نشان ميدهد كه موجب پايداري خودرو در هنگام دور زدن مي شود. اين سيستم با اطلاعات سنسور زاويه فرمان و ديگر پارامتر ها ، لغزش در چرخ ها را در شرايط مختلف متوجه ميشود. هنگام لغزش با كم كردن قدرت موتور و فعال كردن ترمزهاي جداگانه ، از لغزش خودرو و كم شدن كشش چرخ ها جلوگيري كرده و به پايداري خودرو كمك مي كند.
همانطور كه در شكل نشان داده شده ، بدون اين سيستم ، با لغزش چرخ هاي جلو خودرو به بيرون از جاده منحرف شده و به سمت خارج انحراف پيدا مي كند و با لغزش چرخ هاي عقب ، خودرو با چرخش حول محور خود به داخل انحراف پيدا مي كند
