Vehicle attitude control system having vehicle decelerating device operated before operation of vehicle attitude control device

摘要

A vehicle attitude control system for controlling an attitude of a motor vehicle, which system is provided with an attitude control device including a vehicle condition sensor (210, 212, 214, 216) for detecting at least one physical value relating to a turning condition of the vehicle, an attitude control mechanism (14, 22, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 92, 94) for controlling the attitude of the vehicle, and a controller (200) for controlling the attitude control mechanism so as to control the attitude of the vehicle on the basis of an output of the vehicle condition sensor, and wherein a deceleration control device (104, 108, 210, 212, 214, 216, 200, S13-S24, S50-S55, S150-S159) is provided to decelerate the motor vehicle before the attitude control by the attitude control device is initiated, so that the attitude control device provides an intended effect of eliminating a drift-out or spinning tendency of the vehicle during turning, by operation of the attitude control device after initiation of the deceleration control.
