Roll Stability Control

Roll stability control works very much like an anti-skid system, but uses additional sensors to detect an impeding rollover. It then activates the anti-skid system. Roll stability control systems work on flat pavement; they can't prevent rollovers caused by hitting a curb or sliding into a ditch. Also, roll stability control should not be confused with what may be called rollover protection; these systems deploy curtain-side airbags when detecting an impending tip. Volvo, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Land Rover and Jeep have roll stability control systems, and Dodge plans to release one soon.
