ABSTRACT:
A vehicle chassis system control method, comprising the steps of: measuring vehicle yaw rate, vehicle speed, and vehicle lateral acceleration; determining, responsive to the yaw rate, vehicle speed and lateral acceleration, an index ratio; comparing the index ratio to a predetermined threshold indicating a limit above which active chassis control is not desired; and responsive to the comparison, setting a signal indicating termination of active chassis control if the index ratio is above the predetermined threshold.
