Rollover Warning Systems
• RWS is used to determine when a potential rollover condition exists based on real information such as vehicle weight, speed, steering wheel input, lateral acceleration and tire force, etc.
• When a potential rollover condition exists drivers are bombarded with messages and instructed to reduce steering input or to decelerate the vehicle
