Rollover protection system Volvo'sRoll Stability Control (RSC) is a stability system designed to help minimize the risk of arollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skidshould occur.
RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers the amount of change in the lateral angle at whichthe vehicle is leaning. Using this information, RSCcalculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there isan imminent risk of a rollover, the stability systemis activated, power to the engine is cut and thebrakes are applied to one or more of the wheelsuntil the vehicle regains stability.
