On many GM models, StabiliTrak applies brakes on one or more wheels, if the vehicle slides, including the Chevrolet Spark. From the electronic stability control, it can interpret data so to assist decide and in case to adjust the shock absorbers automatically.
Without compromising ride comfort or handling capability in the conditions of normal driving, the GM engineers say that “semi-active” suspension balances the vehicle. When more wheels lose grip with the road surface during the initial acceleration stages, this technology helps maintain traction. During these critical seconds still have the grip, gets directed to the tires the all available torque (engine power).
