Vehicle Dynamics Control System is an electronic stability control system and traction control in one.

 

What makes it important?

VDC plays the main role during difficult driving conditions.
When its sensors detect spinning wheels, VDC controls the Boxer engine and Symmetrical AWD in order to prevent skidding, and to keep the vehicle on path.

 

How does it work?     

VDC applies brakes to the spinning wheel and re-directs the power away to the other wheels to maintain control. It also reduces the engine's power to prevent wheel spin.
